Port Franks, May 11th afternoon

After lunch we walked some Port Frank's Trails where we found a pair of Black-capped Chickadees gathering soft moss to use as nesting material. Chickadees are cavity nesters and the pair was building in a manmade nesting box.

A Hermit Thrush attempted to hide from us in a grassy area.

Wild Lupine - an important plant species for some endangered butterflies, moths, etc.

It was "mating" day for Juvenal's Duskywing!

Juvenal's Duskywing

Sleepy Duskywing! - a new species for us!

Azure sp.

Bronzed Tiger Beetle

The area has some great potential for dragonflies this summer. We will be back to expand our dragonfly list beyond the Green Darner that we found!
