More North Lambton Nature

Friday I checked out Forest lagoons.  Yet again, nothing new in shorebirds!  I cannot seem to hit the right day.  There was a good number of birds to look through.
Four Baird's Sandpipers Sandpipers were working the drier areas, but remained too distant for photos.





In the background, an Olive-sided Flycatcher was working the dead trees.  Always nice to see and hear.

Moving on, I went to Ausable River Cut CA.  A good number of passerines were at the turn of the trail.  There were several Cape May Warblers.



I caught sight of a Fawn Darner at one point.



At the turn of the trail, both Cylindrical and Rough Blazing Star were attracting butterflies.  This Leonard's Skipper was taking advantage.





A couple of Wild Indigo Duskywings were there too.



Next stop was in Port Franks.  I thought of doing the Heritage Forest trails, but went to Karner Blue Sanctuary once again.  There were practically no butterflies to be seen there, but a good flock of passerines kept me busy for a while.
Several species of warblers moved through including a single Blue-winged and the best bird, a Golden-winged.



Upon arrival at home, a Common Checkered-Skipper was in the garden.



At least four Peck's Skippers were present as well.
