Yesterday I was back checking nest boxes. And what a nice day to do it with the over-casted sky! A great finish to the morning!

Happy Independence Day! Where the action happened over night! Then Randy climbed to the top. Notice that at this point that he still doesn’t have the Z on his wings. Randy is a Resh Cicada (Megatibicen resh). This species is not the loudest to sing in the summer for us in the US. But at…
Yep, it seemed yesterday was another First Wednesday. And it wasn’t half bad out with the cloud cover and additionally being on a shady trail. There are a lot of interesting things to enjoy. Indeed that always seems to be the case whenever you take a walk at the LBJNG! Orcas Use Kelp as a…

So I’m sad to tell that the Black Vulture family didn’t make it. First let me tell there were no predators involved. However I am showing step by step what they did. Moreover I thought it was very touching, though sad watching them taking of care of the now dead embryos. Now nature moves on….
We continued on across the prairie! Still on the prairie we were getting closer to why we had come to this particular prairie. No hurries though, we didn’t want to miss anything.
