I discovered this great birding/photography site while visiting my son and his family(two grandsons) who live in Raleigh. I am always looking for new sites to explore and to post on these pages. My visits here always bring new and varied sights. There are a good variety of birds, and lots of wildflowers and insects. My latest visit here was October 6, 2015. Below are some of the photos I captured on that visit.
