Spring Prep

It was delightful to spot this American Goldfinch . Soon, we’ll witness the arrival of the males, adorned in their vibrant yellow plumage.

Edge Of The Ice

I was not prepaared to take this photo. In fact, all I had was my iPhone. This Great Blue Heron found herself on the edge of the ice flow while looking for lunch in the Stillwater River.

On The Run

I waz really surprised at how well this photo turned out. We saw this squirrel just in time to see him take off at full speed. I had to anticipate his speed, direction and ultimately predict where to aim the camera. I was shocked that it was no blurred. It is a Eastern Fox Squirrel.

Alone

We are still seeing a few butterflies but this may be the last Pearl Crescent of 2025 for us. Normally when we see one of them we see many. This one was alone. Good bye my friend.
