July 25, 2019 - The Coves
I have a couple of reports from my recent birding walks. Still looking for butterflies, I saw a Cabbage White, Red Admiral, some Monarchs and a Banded Hairstreak at the Coves. Not a lot of dragonflies....Common Whitetail and a Meadowhawk sp.
I didn't have my bins with me but the birds I saw were a family of Wood Ducks, young Robins, 3 Great Blue Herons, Northern Flicker, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Song Sparrows, a Belted Kingfisher and American Goldfinches to name a few.
