Saturday, June 18th: A Breath of Fresh Air: Trees help to counter global warming by filtering carbon dioxide. In fact, in one year an average tree inhales 26 lbs of C02 and exhales enough oxygen for family of four.
Savannah Sparrow
Female Purple Finch
The females sing as well as the males
Male Purple Finch
The population of this species has declined dramatically in the Eastern US due to competition with the House Finch.
This beauty is the state bird of New Hampshire.
Blue Flag Iris
Northern Shovelers
(Male on the left) Socially, these ducks occasionally work together in groups while feeding, rotating like a pinwheel, stirring up the surface water and then skimming it for food particles.

Swamp Sparrow
This sparrow has longer legs than other members of its genus; this adaptation allows it to wade in shallow water to forage.
It will even sometimes stick its head under water to try to capture aquatic invertebrates.
