| Watching, left-right-center, young catbird |
 |
| First hummer of the season, pluck-luck, there and gone |
 |
| Back to catbird, now singing |
 |
| another common yellow throat |
 |
| Love the wasp construction. I think this is a yellow jacket, not sure, don't really care. It's the total build that fascinates me. |

| The Gill, Laupot Bridge end. There is a rat infestation, multi-generational, the great grandparents, grandparents,parents, Uncles, Aunts, cousins, in-laws, kids, babies, bold faced stare-you-in-the-face rats living in logs, under longs, under rocks, in tree roots. They can climb trees, and rocks,... not attacking, but when a rat stares into your lanes and doesn't make a move to run that's trouble. Friendly rats. Who needs that?! They can't be poisoned, because then our beloved hawks will dine on poisoned rats and die. Down by path leading to the lake a young rat watching people. Tourist: "Oh look, how cute." Me: "That's not a squirrel. That's a rat." Tourist: "Adorable. If I had known I would have brought cupcakes". God forbid! |

| Black and white warbler on the food hunt |
 |
| Same for the common yellow throat warbler |
 |
| Hickory tree nut pods. Heavy. |
 |
| Papa cardinal always watching me. |
 |
| The cardinal youngster now able to pick a bit on her own. |
 |
| Fascinating anatomy, like a stick figure wasp. |
 |
| Weirdest robin I've seen in a while. Molting? Fight? No idea. |
 |
| She likes the berries, especially sun warmed. |
 |
| Fantastic spider's web, but I couldn't find the spider. |
 |
| Trying to see how close I could focus without getting stung. Bees and wasps in this space. |
 |
| My pal the nuthatch, not too gentle request for food. |
 |
| Beautiful immature robin, Survival of the fittest |
 |
| There's a hearty rat population in the park. |
 |
| I didn't know what I was watching. Fascinating. A cicada killer wasp. Didn't mind the camera. In flight for this first shot. |
 |
| It looks like a Disney creation. |
