Common Cormorant |
|
Eastern Kingbird with bug |
Went to the park yesterday afternoon to take pictures of a cormorant that I had spotted moments earlier. These diving birds don't often visit Bassett Creek's shallow pond.
Next I noticed a Eastern Kingbird perched overhead in a tree with a large insect (possibly a dragonfly) in its beak that it was attempting to eat before it escaped.

Dragonfly |
After getting a quick shot of the kingbird I soon discovered a cool looking a dragonfly by water's edge.
A couple of American Osprey flew by on an unsuccessful fishing mission (already pictured in yesterday's post).

Monarch on Swamp Milkweed |

Goldfinch |
While watching for the Osprey I noticed Monarch Butterflies visiting the Swamp Milkweed by water's edge.
Then before I could put my camera away Goldfinches appeared.
Quite a photographic smorgasbord!
