Cormorants soaking up the sunshine in the tree tops.

as they snack on pond scum, weeds and bugs in the water.
Green is one of my favorite colors, I think this is why.
Just look at that bulging eye as he captures this huge fish.
I'm sure that our eyes were bulging as well while
watching and photographing this moment from Wildwing trail.
I know mine were.
This poor dragonfly made a fine catch for her.
It was interesting to watch the Red-winged Blackbirds
as they patrolled the lilypads for bugs today.

I need Janet's dragonfly book or Janet.


share the nectar of a Milkweed bloom.

a monarch caterpillar munching along.

when trying to identify this sweet flutterby.
I don't think either is correct.
The Buckeye is larger, and the eye pattern more distinguished.
The Speckled Wood has a darker brown base color that this one.
Maybe a Ringlet Butterfly ???


It was in and out several times. Singing and defending the territory.
A Black-capped chickadee had attempted to enter several times.
They had words. Didn't sound pretty. We wondered.

We watched Red-bellied and Hairy Woodpecker eat
berries just a few feet from the tree the nest is in.
In fact we were under the nest for at least half an hour before I noticed it.
Made me laugh, as did this "What you talking bout Willis?" expression oh her face.

I'm not sure how many babes are in the nest.
We watched a squirrel walk right up to the nest
take something out and quickly scurry off.
Papa Waxwing suddenly appeared and gave chase.
As I was going through my pictures I noticed that I did get
a shot of what the squirrel took and got away with. It is not pretty.
I'm not sure if I want to post it or not. Bad squirrel!
I look forward to future posts and updates on the progress
and growth of the sweet babes in this nest by Janet here.
