Deer Creek

Osprey, juvenile


Parents in tree along the banks at Deer Creek Wildlife Area...looks like they are waiting for him to leave the nest.

This Indigo Bunting landed on the sign at the intersection at the Deer Creek Wildlife area..We were so thrilled...was like he was saying HI..













This beautiful Red-Spotted Purple on Queen Anne's Lace was beyond words.

Found these Clouded Sulphurs right in the roadway.  They weren't even bothered by us..would fly away and return.












Found this sunflower field and these birds fly up out of the field..not sure if they were Red-winged Blackbirds or Starling...















This was beautiful but a storm was moving in fast and we had to get back to our car.

    Great photo of the Clouded Sulphurs! They were probably all males They get salts & minerals out of the soil to help increase their reproductive ability... and maybe their Libido ;-) It's interesting to read about different species of the animal kingdom...

    Thanks, I have been so amazed at the butterflies this year. I love seeing them and taking pictures and then trying to identify them...Is great fun.
