Day 18.166: Nature walk sightings

I'm posting this with a time delay early in the day because of some travel later.

Here are various things we saw on our regular Thursday morning nature walk - back at our traditional cemetery location.

Bald eagle

Northern cardinal

Porcupine - we discovered they go down trees this way - "feet-first"

Common yellowthroat

Gray catbird

Yellow warbler

Flowers in the tulip tree

Spreading dogbane (with some ant visitors)

This is a swelling caused by a fungus - ash rust

Pileated woodpecker

American robin

Juvenile eastern bluebird

Red bellied woodpecker. We saw a young one but I wasn't able to get a picture. This is probably its dad.

Eastern phoebe


Great egret

Spreading dogbane

Whorled loosestrife

Timothy grass

Deptford pink

Common selfheal

Japanese tree lilac
