After leaving the Mattawomen creek( in my post below) hubby and I stopped for a walk at the Piscataway Park. The trail leads you down to a boardwalk along the Potomac River. Even though it was later in the day we saw a couple of Prothonotary Warblers, a flock of swallows, a few Osprey, a cormorant, lots of butterflies and dragonflies.

Hi Eileen, your butterfly photos are beautiful as are the ones of the comorants and ospreys. I've been a bit absent in following blogs regularly. Please forgive me; I'm trying to catch up so here I am. It's good to visit your beautiful blog again. Blessings Jo
I was struck my your comment "a few osprey." I remember the late 80s in eastern PA when a local biology professor hacked Osprey chicks(well, his students did the grunt work) along the Delaware River. It was a significant occurrence. Now they are almost routine. Life can make a comeback if we stop screwing things up.
Those are some very lovely shots. I enjoy your blog a lot!
It looks a lovely area all round. How wonderful to walk there.
Nature at its best! What a field day capturing all the birds and butterflies! Its a great adventure.
The dragonfly mixes so well with nature.
Hi Eileen, you have some great shots. Love the sunset!
Oh .... so many beautiful shots! Love them all Eileen!
This is such a lovely boardwalk; it would be a shame to ruin it in the name of "development". Good on you for joining a campaign to protect the area.
Thank you for taking us along on your nature walk. You had such a lot of beautiful companions.
I don't know how you keep up with so many blogs! I love the dragonfly & the swallowtails. You are such a font of knowledge! No wonder it is hard to stump you! You are a winning Wednesday Wizard over at GrammyMousetails this week! stop over & don't forget to grab the Wizards badge :) *hugs* Faythe @GMT
Love your photos. It is nice to have photos as a record of what you see and do. It is so nice to travel around the country with your fellow bloggers and see their vacations and outdoor activities.

Very cool looking butterfly.

Lovely photos, we have a bird sanctuary near my home but I haven't been to it for a very long time. Your photos convinced me I need to visit it again!

Lovely, lovely. It never ceases to amaze me as to how abundant life is in these wetlands.
What a fantastic place to go and see all that wonderful wildlife! Great photos too.
Those are such wonderful photos! The butterflies are incredible as we don't get anything like those here. I do love a good hike and a walk by the water is wonderful!
The first picture is amazing - in my opinion, close to poetry. Chapeau ! Please have a good Thursday.
