Fun Finds!

This recently fledged Red-winged Blackbird made me smile. His positioning on the log makes it look like he is wearing a "helicopter" hat with 3 prongs!

Some tiny American Toad "toadlets" are on the move! (Notice the size of the 3-leaved clovers in the photo to give a size comparison.)

White-spotted Sable Moth: These moths typically rest out of sight on the underside of leaves. I was happy to find one that stayed in the open for a picture!

I only had one chance at a photo when this pair of Twelve-spotted Skimmers hovered in front of me in the mating wheel!

American Rose Chafers mating at the Strathroy Lagoons. It is given its common name because it eats the leaves of roses, although it also feeds on many other plants.

Wood Duck Family at Strathroy Lagoons. She guided 13 ducklings safely across the water.

Deryl arrived at the beach early one morning just in time to see a Whimbrel before it was flushed away by walkers. He had missed this species when they headed north during migration.
