Another day in Hades, but I’m hooked on taking bird photos, so I planned another short trip to the Nature Center and Jonas Green State Park. I managed to get some ways down the Greenbury Point Trail before the firing range opened, but it wasn’t particularly productive except for a Flycatcher. It was a butterfly and Dragonfly kind of day.
This Cardinal has found herself a nice meal.
There’s always a few Chickadees around, but getting them to pose is another matter.
I have trouble telling one Flycatcher from another, but I’m working on an ID.
It turns out to be a female Indigo Bunting.
There seem to be Cardinals singing from the treetops everywhere I go.
Some day I’ll get names for these things.
I took several shots of the Spicebush Swallowtail before getting a decent one.
No ID yet.
Another unknown butterfly. A reader tells me this is a Silver-bordered Fritillary
There was no shortage of food for this Blue Gray Gnatcatcher.
This Chickadee spent several minutes examining the rails in this fence.
Here’s our Chickadee again just because I like this shot.
There are several Mockingbirds at Jonas Green State Park, and they compete fiercely.
Beautiful pics, Hugh. I think the unidentified winged things are called BUGS. Ewww. lol
Thanks, Jean, that clears it up.
Eastern Pondhawk green female . Red one might be Autumn Meadowhawk . Orange butterfly is Variegated Frittilary
