In late July eastern NC is hot and muggy, with long and lazy days. Except for early morning cooler time, the wildlife can seem to disappear. Things move slowly and life tends to hug the shadows and move only slowly if at all. Finding birds to photograph is difficult and to see them can be surprising. During this time of year, I frequently turn to the wildflowers which are in full bloom, or to the dragonflies who flit around in their multiple bright colors as if immune from the heat--the hotter and brighter the better!. The presence of these ancient critters is abundant at Goose Creek State Park in Eastern NC.This past week I spent a couple of days there looking for the few summer birds I could find as well as the abundant dragons. If you go here, be sure and check out the Boardwalk Thail across the swamp where you are sure to encounter many species decked out in their bright colors. See the photos below.
