Recent June Outings

Week of June 13-18, 2022

I enjoyed watching this Osprey circling around above me.  Beautiful birds.  They have a nest nearby...top of a tower.  I'm seeing the usual birds and trying to find butterflies and dragonflies.  They are very scarce right now.  One has to look very hard for them. 

Spotted Sandpiper

A pair of Red-winged Blackbirds.  

Common Grackle

Found this Turkey Vulture resting in a tree.

Here is one butterfly I saw...Hackberry Emperor.  This is a lifer for me.
