I was clearing my camera and decided to include a few photos from our explorations this month so far.
New yellow wildflower. I think this is Hooker’s Evening Primrose.
New purple wildflower. I am still working on identifying this one.
Crimson Columbine.
Large Tiger lily.
No kidding, it is as large as my palm.
Osprey nest on the top of this dead tree…see it up there made out of sticks?
Here is a link to the sound that was coming from this nest:
All About Birds: Osprey
As we were standing there, the mama or daddy osprey flew in and dropped a fish from the lake into the nest and then it flew away. All was quiet again.
Just a few photos to keep track of some of the things we have experienced while outdoors this month.
Hubby surprised me with this new field guide. I haven’t had a chance to really look into it deeply but it looks very, very good. I will post a review soon.
Barb, thanks for sharing your beautiful photos, especially that Tiger Lily. Also, thanks for posting a link to the Osprey calls. That was neat to hear.
Amazing, what Mother Nature creates :).
I absolutely love that field guide. Jack is an amazing naturalist and very engaging speaker if you ever get a change to hear him. I have had the good fortune to work with him on occasion and I adore him.
