The
Gilberts have 38 acres of
wonderful habitat, parking was
not a problem. |
We did
try to look for birds but we were
more interested in the dragonflies. |
 |
 |
| When we
didn't see any dragonflies or butterflies, there were
always mushrooms. |
The
Gilbert's Lake. |
 |
 |
| Wondering
what the other were seeing. |
Plenty of
vegetation to search in. |
 |
 |
| Lou... |
...and
Larry our dragonfly experts. |

Pennant. |
Widow

| With
umbrellas and rain gear we searched. |
Ebony
Jewelwing. |
 |
 |
| Every one
searched... |
...and
Vince found... |
 |
 |
| ...after
consulting the guide... |
...an
Azalea Sphinx Moth. |
 |
 |
A very
weary Northern Broken-dash
Skipper. |
Another
moth in the woods. |
 |
 |
These
great mushrooms were
every where. |
Milkweed |

A
wonderful pine tree forest carpeted
with poison ivy. |

 |
 |
| We really
never had a down pour, but it sure was humid! |
Here we
are at the Brown-headed Nuthatch location. |

The
