Have a great new week everyone!.This Yellow Crowned Night Heron was an anomoly at one of the local ponds I frequent. He was there maybe three weeks this summer. After one storm we had, he disappeared. I hope he has moved on to other life adventures at another good pond! He was a joy!

The Black Swallowtail population is surging right now which means will get another surge in late September. This male is gorgeous.

Meet MACC’s Gravy Train Goblin.

Potpie is 4 years old and 65 lbs. Whispering “au jus” three times will summon him to magicaly appear ready for treats and dinner. He dreams of wild rides on rivers of delicious gravy, docking at only the world’s best kitchens hoping for a snack.

A favorite from my archive a day: Badhamia slime mold creeping down a log and covering some turkey tail/trametes. Scroll down for more photos.

Some highlights from today's Donkey Camp. What made this camp extra special is that as it was so very hot we gave fresh fruit to all the donkeys that were seen to. Our camps are so well recieved as their animals get medical treatment for free 💖🫏

Spent about an hour yesterday morning picking through Common Milkweed in the Sylvania Wilderness in Ottawa National Forest, looking for Monarchs. I found a few, though I had to have the adult pointed out because I was nose-deep looking for tiny cats and eggs. #monarchs #insects #photography #nature

Twelve-spotted skimmer at a local marsh 🌿. This is a mature male. Young males and females lack the white spots.
