A nice warm day today. I walked Hyde Park Pond to see what was around. A Great Blue Heron was busy fishing, a Doubled-crested Cormorant flew in to find some lunch. An Osprey hit the water from the air three times momentarily disappearing under the water.

I usually don't see too many Indigo Buntings but today I saw one. It was a distance away in a dead tree and I can only see the silhouette of the bird. I didn't have my bins with me.

There were some small frogs in a big puddle. Dragonflies were flying around mostly Common Whitetails. I saw a bigger frog jumping up from the water trying to catch a dragonfly. When I was watching the frog missed a couple of times.

I saw my FOY Eastern Amberwing and Halloween Pennant.

There were a few Monarchs around, I found a Viceroy and another Red-Spotted Purple. There were a few Cabbage Whites and saw two sulphur butterflies for the first time this year. I was so happy to see them. They wouldn't settle for a photo.
