It has been a while since I have written in this journal. Those of you who follow these dribblings probably think I have vanished from the Kingdom. I have been captured in the tedious and hated chore of selling my house and buying another--we are downsizing which means digging out and throwing away years of collections of stuff so old no one knows what to call it anymore. We have located a new place on a small lake with promise of many birds. So this process has an end in sight(mid July) and I can’t wait! So my outdoor birding efforts have been on hold---
I did manage to get out to The Field for a couple of hours yesterday, but the heat index was up around 104 degrees, so needless to say, I did not last long. I did see a few of our summer birds including my favorite, the Blue Grosbeak, and an Osprey fishing the creek.
I mostly got caught up in photographing the dragonflies, which were numerous in the hot weather. They are so varied and colorful, it is always interesting to photograph them. Enjoy the pictures below. I hope to get back on a more regular beat here as soon as this moving mess is done---
