Beautiful blue butterfly

Another butterfly photo from a butterfly walks earlier this summer. I love the blues and blacks of this amazing butterfly. It was on the banks fo the Stillwater River. I think we saw one like this every time we hiked in this spot. The come here for water. Such a beautiful creature.

A chilly, rustic fall day

This photo is interesting, at least to me. It feels cold .. dead trees, brown leaves ... just cold.

Nutty Squirrel

We saw this large squirrel while hiking on Saturday. I was surprised to see a him, but he rushed off and found a warmer spot under a fallen tree. Nutty squirrel. 😳

Nutty Nuthatch

We took a hike at Big Woods Sanurary on Friday evening (looking for owls), and again on Saturday when we could see. The surprise this time out was how many White-breasted Nuthatches we saw. We photographed a few .. cool bird. They look alot like woodpeckers, eating bugs up and down the trees. They do not migrate, so this was fun.

Here is the video from this two part hike .. cold and fun:

Flicker and Owls

I took this photo of this Northern Flicker several weeks ago as she groomed near the Miami River. I focused on her for a long time, hoping to get a photo when she took a break, but she ignored me.

Last night we took a hike looking for owls. We managed to see one Eastern screech Owl, and hear at least one more. We believe we also heard a fox or two. It was a cold night. I will see if any of our pictures or video are any good later. Interesting experience. It always is.
