The Little Guy That Closes Beaches
Monday, July 14, 2008
This post is way overdue. These are pics of Piping Plovers. I’ve been seeing the adults since the start of May and their eggs began hatching at least a month ago. I’ll post some shots of the young ones later this week. In the photo below you can get an idea of how their coloration helps to camouflage them on sandy beaches. JK
Bunny Rabbit
Friday, July 11, 2008
Time for an isn’t-that-just-too-cute post. This little guy is an Eastern Cottontail. I found him on Tuesday morning along one of the paths at the David Weld Sanctuary. He had almost no fear of me. In fact he let me pass him on the path without disappearing into the brush.
I’ve wanted to post another rabbit picture for some time now but nearly all of the rabbits I’ve seen this year have been infested with tics. Lots of tics. This guy and another I saw the same day seemed to be tic-free, but don’t let that fool you. The tics are still out there. I found one on crawling up my leg yesterday as I was getting ready to launch my kayak. There. That should balance out the cuteness of this post. I feel better now. JK
Bug

This is a bug. And you thought you weren’t going to learn anything today. I think it’s a type of fly, masquerading as a wasp. Sort of a sheep in wolf’s clothing. JK
