Cathedral Pines and Black Spruce Bog

Owl families are amazing. Both parents put considerable effort into raising the babies and families stick together for months after leaving the nest. This fledgling Barred Owl was perched on a low branch. They curiously bob and tilt their heads to look around and judge distances.

Behold the Small-eyed Sphinx Moth

Giant Leopard Moth

Still having a great time attracting different moth species to my porch. This visitor is a Pearly Wood Nymph. Check out the close up of the colorful overlapping scales of chitin on its wing! So stunning and velvety looking.

The American Woodcock is a primarily nocturnal sandpiper that lives in young forests next to open habitats like meadows. The best time to observe them is often at dawn or dusk in early spring, when they perform a unique courtship ritual.

Agreeable Tiger Moth
