Hmmm… Here’s a picture of Gull Point from the bluff at Chautauqua Park, Erie, PA, taken last Thursday. The outer beach is closed for the season, so either it’s the Bird Observatory or DCNR folks out on a survey, or someone’s being very bad. Shame!
More nature from this past weekend at Presque Isle State Park:
Much excitement seeing a deer baby on the Pine Tree Trail (these shots taken at a long distance):
Wild Turkeys enjoying a hike:
Two nice shots of what’s probably juvenile Blue Dasher (Pachydiplax longipennis) dragonfly:
And, on Thompson Bay, the beautiful America White Waterlily (Nymphaea odorata):
The Multiflora Rose (Rosa multiflora) are currently in bloom:
Very cool to see a Grayish Zanclognatha (Zanclognatha pedipilalis) moth:
More/better shots of this fascinating moth on the way!
