Temporary Housing

Near the end of our butterfly walk this week, we saw several Kingfishers near the fishing pond at Stillwater Prairie Reserve. They normally nest in the banks of rivers, but given the high water levels, perhaps they were hanging out at the pond.

They were very loud. Perhaps we annoyed them. I guess I can understand.

A Bad Feather Day

I see this most every September: a Molting Cardinal. Most years I seem to run across males that are molting, but while hiking this week we ran across this female that was clearly in the early stages. A bad feather day?
