Another late start. Gabrielle, my 17 year old Tabby, has been under the weather, so we took her to the vet for a check up. Nothing remarkable, just slowing down.
It was getting hot, and the humidity was noticeable by the time I got started. Even though I found a few nice birds, they weren’t terrible cooperative, but I’m showing what I got.


Sometimes it’s hard to find an Indigo Bunting who’s not singing.

The light was great, but this Brown Thrasher stayed partially hidden.

This Eastern Phoebe flew into a bush right in front of me.


I’m not sure I’ve seen this Dragonfly before.

I would like to have gotten a better image of this large, colorful Wasp.

In general, Yellow Breasted Chats are pretty secretive.

This female Red Bellied Woodpecker was foraging high in a dead tree.
I’m sorry to hear about Gabrielle…Heat? Hope she feels better soon…J
We have a lot of thrashers here, but I never ever see an indigo bunting. Great pictures, as always!
