Mid-week Musings

Things are slowing down now.  A Canada Warbler was nice to see in the yard late yesterday.  It was singing too!  

I will be at Rondeau this Saturday to see what is lingering around.  Still lots to see I am sure.

Last week, this Solitary Sandpiper was hanging around Brander Park, Port Lambton.

Last weekend while viewing birds at Ridgetown Lagoons, I heard the distinct sound of an old airplane approaching.  Took a quick photo.  I knew it had to be one of the aircraft owned by the Spence family of Muirkirk, so I looked it up.  It one of the Harvard class.  Lots of these were built over a long period of time.  This Harvard Mk II was built in 1941.  Many are still around.

I took my lunch over to Brander Park today and noticed lots of butterflies flying.  A Common Ringlet was one of the first.  I saw lots of these this past Sunday while at Blenheim Lagoons.

One of the better photos of a Snout Butterfly that I have taken:

Always thought this was cute:

Don't ask me how it got in there, but I have seen this on two different occasions at the same spot in Rondeau Park!
