A grackle staring at something in the water.

Woody in the woods.

A common yellowthroat warbler hiding in the bushes. Most of the warblers are gone now and are up north for the summer.

Dragonfly on a stick shot.

Cattails were everywhere. My dad loved cattails. I think they look like poop on a stick.

It’s June 1st. It’s going to be a long hot summer. It’s been hot since early April. These were taken in early May and it was stifling hot already at Circle B Bar Reserve. It’s time to hit the coast for the summer breezes and let the gators nap in peace for a few months.
