It was partly cloudy and cool this morning, and I didn’t have plan, so I headed to Governor Bridge to try to do as well as last time. The birds weren’t as cooperative, but there were plenty of bugs to look at.
This turtle might have been looking for a place to lay eggs.
There are many Indigo Buntings at Governor Bridge.
I’m not sure how this Northern Cardinal got so wet.
Wikipedia:”Their breeding habitat is wooded swamps, shallow lakes, marshes or ponds, and creeks in eastern North America, the west coast of the United States and western Mexico. They usually nest in cavities in trees close to water, although they will take advantage of nesting boxes in wetland locations if available. Females line their nests with feathers and other soft materials, and the elevation provides some protection from predators.[5] Unlike most other ducks, the wood duck has sharp claws for perching in trees and can, in southern regions, produce two broods in a single season—the only North American duck that can do so.”
Today’s bugs.
And a couple of flowers.
