Some Things With Wings are Still Hanging Around!

I haven't been to Canatara Park in a few days 

but the Great Egret was still  hunting on my last visit.

However, he lost his balance on a wobbly branch while trying to grab a fish. His dignity was hurt and he soon flew off.

Many thanks to our friend Anne, who alerted us to Evening Grosbeaks at her backyard feeder! We were able to watch from the neighbouring park without disturbing them!

Her bubbling rock is a bird magnet! We aren't often able to find 

Evening Grosbeaks in SW Ontario so seeing 7 was a real treat!

Today's sunny skies energized some invertebrates, including 

this member of the Leaf Roller Moths who landed in front of me.

Wingless Things That Caught My Attention:

Rain drops on a yellow leaf.

Milkweed Seeds and parachutes, ready for take off.

Common Orange Lichen

Star-shaped parachutes!
