When the Jay family fledges the nest everyone knows it! Sqwaaaaaak! They are a loud bunch, in these photos a fledgling has just left the nest with parents encouraging along the way. My parents country yard makes for a wonderful environment for them with mature trees blended into a meadow.
A Red-headed Woodpecker is a delightful find. With it’s bright red head it is captivating and an exciting bird to add to ones list. This one must have a nest nearby as it has been hanging around for several weeks in the south end of the Beaver Valley in the old growth forest which happens to border onto a quiet road. 5 images.
Walking around the wetlands I found four Monarch’s and a different looking dragon fly, all floating on the breezes. Did you know that Dragon Flies make similar migration journey’s to the Monarchs? Who knew? Makes them a little more fascinating. 3 photos.
All along the narrow winding board walk several Orchids can be found in a very short distance, a must see location for Orchids. 5 images.
