Ship on the St. Lawrence

Here I have a young cardinal starting to show its colors. Shot was taken in our backyard on the grapevine.

Great Crested Flycatcher

Great Crested Flycatcher, Broome county, NY. This bird was quite skittish, but after patient waiting by its nesting site, I managed to get a few nice pictures. She eventually had 3  chicks that fled the nest when they grew up.

On the Dock

Passing lane

Spent time vacationing at Cedar Point state park on the St Lawrence Seaway;as a person who doesn’t live by a large body of water I marveled at the small boats passing around the larger ships.

Gone Wild

A picture I like that I took in a field on a farm that was overrun by a variety of flowering plants.

Time together

These are two Little Wood Satyr butterflies mating in mid May in a weed infested, old hay field, Broome county, NY

Male American Redstart, Cedar Point state park, NY (June). This is the counterpart to the female in the previous post. I enjoy looking for these birds. They are very elusive.
