Bird Mobile at our lunch spot
Eastern Gray Treefrog
Male Yellow Warbler
Baby Eastern Bluebirds
Papa Bluebird showed up
Chipping Sparrow
He was singing to his mate
Many of the roads and trails in the park were closed due to flooding, erosion and/or flooding.
This kind of destruction is hard to imagine and what these poor people are suffering through has no relief in sight. The lady in the park office told us that at a dam in South Dakota the Corps of Engineers for some unknown reason was releasing twice as much water as normal into the Missouri River, causing continued flooding. Go figure!
Silver-spotted Skipper
Western Meadowlark, Nebraska’s state bird.
Though there are subtle differences between the Eastern and Western Meadowlarks, where their ranges overlap true birders say the only reliable way to tell them apart is by their calls. This one was singing beautifully and we easily identified its song as that of the Western Meadowlark.
Zebra Swallowtail Butterfly
So beautiful
As is the equally beautiful Red-spotted Purple Butterfly
