Our walk was unproductive. We saw a few goldfinches and swallows, but that was about it for small birds.
The wildflowers blanketed the prairie, but the familiar birds have dissappeared.
There were masses of butterflies. (ID help?)
Dragonflies and grasshoppers were plentiful too.
Oh well, it was a gorgeous day for a walk...

Love your site. Your pictures are amazing and I have had such a nice time looking though them!
Take care
Those country landscapes are to die for!
We went out to the mountains to Shenandoah Nat Park, and had the same luck - no birds nor wildlife in sight - we heard 1 catbird and 1 pileated WP and saw a chipmunk - that was it - the first time we have ever gone and come back with blank memory cards!
I think the butterfly is a Common Wood-Nymph, and I think the dragonfly is a Common Whitetail. Very nice photos!
You hooked me on the first photo! :-) - Great shots!
I LOVE that second photo!
You dragon appears to be a Common Whitetail Libellula lydia.
Happy to be corrected.
