It's August...chicks have fledged...birds are heading south for the winter...and BirdCast is back. BirdCast provides forecast maps (see below) to let you know where there's active bird migration as well as live maps that track bird activity through the evening and night. More: birdcast.org. #birds

I meet with an improv group Saturday mornings in the park saw this morning we were watched by a family of geese and some swallowtails. At the end, we watched a couple of swallowtails! They’re so beautiful even during park shenanigans!

My supervisor this morning at The Park — Catocala piatrix - “Penitent Underwing” moth (some confidence), what an awesome name! Blending in well on the rough willow bark - except for a hint of the orange under wings, hind wings. Open wings might span two inches. #invertes Lepidoptera

Song Sparrow had another solo brood. I think this makes four. It is an interesting decision to have one at a time from spring and mid- summer. #Birds I have to respect the tenacity of these two and also the problem-solving maybe this is so the nest can be small and can’t be discovered by rats.

It's the fun time of year when the hummingbird moths appear! This one is a Hummingbird Clearwing. They are moths that hover while sipping nectar, with Bee Balm being one of their favorite flowers.
