One individual in a flock of Sandhill Cranes -- the one with black-tipped white wings

! :)

Found by Kyle Jones and observed by many since. This is the first state record for this species.

About 16 counted leaving for the evening.

An amazing sight by the side of the road!

On the garden gate, trying to hold a single strand of dog hair upright.

Flock of about 30 seen

Must have been chased up the tree the night before. Spent the day resting before disappearing in to the night.

Two egrets had a scuffle for some reason.

clear tracks of two porcupines in the area

I think these are some type of Calyptra. I found many of them eating the buds off of a Thallictrum rochebrunianum

Predatory Condylostylus fly species on my back deck railing. About 4 mm long. This fly kind of dances/jumps around--reminds me of the behavior of jumping spiders.
