Ruby Throated Hummingbird at Governor Bridge Natural Area

It was another near perfect day, with low humidity and clear skies. Governor Bridge was still pretty active, and the Hummingbirds may be fueling up for migration. Other birds are more active than usual also.

Still slow on the bug front, but I did find a few.
