Some Pics From July

Getting wildlife to pose for a pic can be very frustrating

Tuesday July 31st

Just a few pics from July. Not a lot of birds around, but you can fall back on dragonflies, butterflies and wildflowers.  Maybe a fish or two.

By the end of July the bulk of these Swallow-tailed Kites 

have left the States for their wintering grounds.
