Yet another very hot and humid day, so I went to Possum Point as I knew I’d be quitting early anyway, and I had grocery chores to run.

Sunrise at Possum Point

There’s more to see than birds some days.

Here’s another look at the colorful sunrise.

Osprey

This Osprey was nicely silhouetted against the morning sky.

This Osprey has caught a very nice striped bass.

Osprey Feeding

The Osprey has spread his wings to maintain his balance, giving us a good look at his impressive size

Bonaparte's Gull

This probably a Bonaparte’s Gull.

Crow

This Crow was sharing the same tree, and may have been waiting for leftovers.

Great Crested Flycatcher

This Great Crested Flycatcher was high in a tree overlooking the Point.

Butterfly

It’s hard to pass up a beauty like this Monarch Butterfly.

Goldfinch

I moved to the Nature Center after an hour or so, and there were many Goldfinches about.

House Finch

This House Finch landed quite close to me and stayed for a while.
