At this favorite site, there is always a surprise as well as the usual. Last week I was here one morning for a couple of hours and was blessed with both.Mid-summer usually provides a range of birds who are year round residents as well as unusual or early or late seasonal visitors. Usual residents included Buntings, Finch, Cardinals, Blackbirds, Doves, Gulls, Herons, Mockers, Thrashers, Towhees, Ibis, and others. A pleasant finding was my first adolescent male Painted Bunting in developing colors. There was also an unexpected mid-summer Prairie Warbler. In addition there was a female Pondhawk dragonfly as well as a Cloudless Sulpher Butterfly. This was quite a pleasant and productive photo shot for a quick two hours!! Enjoy pics below.
