Bug Hunting at Governor Bridge Natural Area

It was 75 degrees when awoke around 4:30, and 80 when I got to Governor Bridge. The humidity rose quickly, making for a very short day.
I didn’t bother with the big lens at all, a first.
Bug hunting was a little slow, but I did get a few.

I saw three turtles out of the water today, presumably preparing to lay eggs.
