Description

A monarch butterfly visiting crimson clover. I have only counted 6 monarchs all year. I have yet to find any larva on indigenous milkweeds, even though the drought is broken in this area, and it's been a good growing season for milkweed.

Normally we would see larva by now.

We have had an incredibly wet year, especially in light of the last 3 years of drought. The frog and toad population seems determined to make the best of it.

A red tailed hawk being mobbed by two American Crows.

When I first came upon this scene, the hawk was perched on a utility pole and one crow was swooping down dangerously close. Eventually the hawk took flight and the game was on. Another crow joined in.

Description

An unusual ant found in loose dirt, I think it had been hibernating but was disturbed accidentally by something. It is so large, and because it appears to be overwintering I assume it's female.

At first glance I wondered if it were some kind of velvet ant because of it's size and strange coloration. It had a chatoyancy like a piece of tiger's eye.

Description

You cannot see the fish, but you can see the wave action they created in the water as they schooled. This lasted for about 10 minutes before subsiding and then appearing in other areas of the lake. I assume the fish were feeding on something in the water. Perhaps some kind of shad?
