Birds, Botanics and Butterflies

Here's some highlights from the previous week:

 

Mourning Dove family portrait at Green-Wood Cemetery.

Red-tailed Hawk family portrait in Green-Wood Cemetery.

Yellow Warblers still hanging around Green-Wood Cemetery. A possibility that they will stay and nest here.

My Mourning Warbler...

As usual, Chipping Sparrows are nesting in good numbers at the cemetery.

Found this hybrid Brewster's Warbler on a day trip to Sterling Forest State Park.

Blackburnian Warbler glows like a hot ember.

White Pines sprouting new crop of cones.

One of many species of hawkweed. Probably not a favorite of the landscape department at Green-Wood Cemetery.

Clammy Locust is a new one for me.

Eastern Tailed Blue seen at Sterling Forest State Park.

Painted Lady looking lovely.

Silver-spotted Skipper, also seen at Sterling Forest.

One of the tiny skipper family of butterflies. I think this is a Zabulon Skipper. Seen at Dell Water in Green-Wood Cemetery.
