I made the (45 minute) trek to Lake Artemesia this morning, in hopes of getting some variety, and I succeeded, but the pickings were slim. It was disappointing, as I’ve had good luck there in the past.
The weather wasn’t much good, either, and a couple of short rain showers combined with the cloudy skies had me leaving after a couple of hours.
Lake Artemesia
Beavers are thriving at Lake Artemesia.
This Canada Goose gosling is almost full grown.
There’s usually a flock of Cedar Waxwings in residence.
Three Double Crested Cormorants were fishing in the lake.
Barn Swallows nest at Lake Artemesia.
Tree Swallows also nest at the lake.
When I first saw this Wood Duck, she was foraging in the grass with a flock of Canada Geese.
I didn’t have time to look for bugs, and this Moth was a lucky find.
