It was not in a mood but we needed to tighten that band a bit more.
A bit later we caught one of our adult Carolina Wren pairs together in Net 4 but we didn't take photos as we have plenty of them. However, Maria finally made it back out and took a lot of shots around the riverside. Such as this one showing that the next crop of Muscadine Grapes are beginning to set.
Still blooming strong for another year is the Partridge Pea near Net 2.
Even grasses can be pretty in their own right.
Maria and Susan headed down Andrew's trail that leads to the lake.
Anyone know what the name of this bug is?
An Ichneumon wasp wanders around in search of food. We believe genus Eutanyacra.
We began hearing the now familiar calls of the local Summer Tanagers. Andrew decided to try and get some shots.
However, they stay so far back across the river it is proving difficult. See that tiny red dot...?
Great-crested Flycatchers do come a little closer but not by much.
Meanwhile, a native Green Anole turns from green to brown. Or is it turning brown from green?
Time to go home. One more surprise as we captured a Mourning Dove in Net 18 just as Christine was about to close it up!
Mourning Doves are often too hard to catch as they are too big for the mesh size in the nets but we do get a few.
One more week before the end of Session 3.
