Pocket Prairie Habitat

Prairie grasses have taken root in the cracks or joints in the rock ledges around the falls. In some areas these grasses--like little bluestem grass--catch enough soil around them to produce small areas of land. Then, many types of prairie plants, such as prairie mimosa, evening primrose, and tickseed sunflower may be seen blooming at various times. This habitat serves as a home for insects, small mammals, and birds.
