I've only seen them once in my life, and it was when I traveled the east coast states. They are beautiful.

Oh! Snow Trilliums! We have these sweet white ladies, too, here on The Glenwood Nature Preserve, in amongst the Oaks and Doug Firs, and some Redwoods. They are a delightful surprise, and not easy to see. Your photos and information are appreciated! Thank you, Diane, for your love of All Things Tender and Beautiful that MomNature brings us...to uplift, encourage, inspire!

The Iowa DNR makes a great brochure about managing forests for birds. You can download it at https://store.extension.iastate.edu/product/Iowas-Forest-Birds.
