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.

Also, a big thanks to you for stopping by my post and blog. Have a great day :)
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
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThose are some very lovely shots. I enjoy your blog a lot!
ReplyDeleteIt looks a lovely area all round. How wonderful to walk there.
ReplyDeleteNature at its best! What a field day capturing all the birds and butterflies! Its a great adventure.
ReplyDeleteThe dragonfly mixes so well with nature.
ReplyDeleteHi Eileen, you have some great shots. Love the sunset!
ReplyDeleteOh .... so many beautiful shots! Love them all Eileen!
ReplyDeleteThis 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.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking us along on your nature walk. You had such a lot of beautiful companions.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
