I know quite the diverse category...
The last couple of times on the local pond I can't believe how many butterflies are flying across the open water... going... ?? I'm of the understanding that butterflies migrate...is this what I'm seeing...or just locals out and about on the sunny days ? Skinny dipping... I don't think so... figured they would avoid the water like crazy.
I've gotten used to dragonflies occasionaly hitching a ride or scooping them up and "saving" them by letting them dry off.... then they seem to proceeded to jump right back in....umm... don't think I'll ever understand that.
Loons..for the 1st time I saw one on Great Bay NH....he gave me a yodel or two just to let me know what he thought of me being out there I guess. As soon as I realized who I was dealing with...I gave him or her plenty of "elbow" room.
It is said that loons will start to congregate on local waters before starting for their winter destinations...has anybody noticed that?
Seems Hawks/ Ospreys should be moving about and heading out about now..or have they gone already?
Any Wildlife Waterside Stories" that you wouldn't have seen otherwise..
...ever have an Otter swim up and give their 2 cents of exactly what they thought of you...?
