A few quickie pics from an evening stroll a few days ago at this absolutely wonderful little conservation area.
If only I had a nice zoom lens and multi-thousand dollar camera for that first pic! What a covershot it would have been having an indigo bunting sharing a shot with a small flock of cedar waxwings. Oh well... I featured the actual shot and perhaps what my 'dream shot' would have looked like!
Despite desperate pishing to the point of a permanent lip disfigurement, I could not get the bunting to do anything more than drop down into the underbrush and disappear. All that responded were an inquisitive pair of grey catbirds.
Here's a pair of very bold black leaf-footed bugs that didn't mind posing for some macro shots. Not much to say about these except that they're typical pest insects in the same family as stink bugs.
Haven't looked up this damsel fly yet. I am assuming it is just a typical siting but I will let someone else make an ID if it is something unusual!
