A Soggy Week

Week of Aug 21, 2023, we had some rainy days, lots of rain. The Thames River is very high and fast moving.  So I didn't see much at the river.  I went to a wetland in North London.  It was quiet.  I decided to take some pictures of plants.  They are so pretty this time of year.

Joe-Pye Weeds

Hawkweed

Canada Goldenrod

The only butterfly I saw other than Cabbage Whites was the Northern Crescent.  The first one I've seen this year! lol

Northern Crescent

A Double-crested Cormorant few over.  I also saw a Cooper's Hawk, Turkey Vultures. and Ring-billed Gulls.  It was an overcast day so my pictures were silhouettes.

I also saw some Mallards, a Belted Kingfisher, lots of American Goldfinches, House Finches, Catbird and Song Sparrows.
