I got rained out again this morning, but I can’t really complain, because we sure needed the rain. Instead, I took a quick swing through the southern part later this morning, when the sun was high and most critters were going on siesta, but still managed to spot a couple of anyway.
This first one, we saw last summer, but this is the first one I’ve managed to capture this season. I believe it’s one of the pretty little spring azures (Celastrina ladon), and there are a few to choose from.
Meanwhile, the goldfinch have found the bull thistle blossoms and are just ripping apart the ones that have gone by.
Lastly, here’s a female common whitetail (Plathemis lydia) searching for the male we saw at the north end yesterday, but will they ever meet?
There is currently a less-than-10% chance of rain forecast for tomorrow, so hopefully we’ll be able to go back to our regularly scheduled program.
