This nest is located in the shrubs outside my house. I wonder if the large egg is from a cowbird??

This is at the base of the trail from the nature center.

These 3 goslings are by the roadway at camp. Their parents leave as I approach in my car and then realize the goslings aren’t with them and they come back honking and hissing the whole away.

Redbuds are bursting out. These buds are edible. Some people put them on salads.

It’s mushroom season!!

As I’m walking back to work from lunch, I spy these green darner dragonflies mating. They are strikingly beautiful! They are quite fierce in their aquatic stage nymph stage.

It’s only april but the mayflies and the may apples are out and about.

I see some miner bees hovering over the ground and I notice something just a bit larger. This beetle is what I find. I don’t know what kind it is but its antenae look like something from Dr. Suess.
