Jonas Green State Park

Another day in Hades, but I’m hooked on taking bird photos, so I planned another short trip to the Nature Center and Jonas Green State Park. I managed to get some ways down the Greenbury Point Trail before the firing range opened, but it wasn’t particularly productive except for a Flycatcher. It was a butterfly and Dragonfly kind of day.

Cardinal

This Cardinal has found herself a nice meal.

Chickadee

There’s always a few Chickadees around, but getting them to pose is another matter.

Flycatcher

I have trouble telling one Flycatcher from another, but I’m working on an ID.
It turns out to be a female Indigo Bunting.

Cardinal

There seem to be Cardinals singing from the treetops everywhere I go.

Dragonfly

Dragonfly

Dragonfly

Some day I’ll get names for these things.

Spicebush Swallowtail

I took several shots of the Spicebush Swallowtail before getting a decent one.

Butterfly

No ID yet.

Butterfly

Another unknown butterfly. A reader tells me this is a Silver-bordered Fritillary

Blue Gray Gnatcatcher

There was no shortage of food for this Blue Gray Gnatcatcher.

Chickadee

This Chickadee spent several minutes examining the rails in this fence.

Chickadee

Here’s our Chickadee again just because I like this shot.

Mockingbird

There are several Mockingbirds at Jonas Green State Park, and they compete fiercely.
