Howdee all,
More New River….
Day two took us to Sugar Creek…with Jim McCormac~Mr Nature knowledge powerhouse.
We saw lots of warblers, which were too far for my small camera to reach.
Land Snail
Jack-in-the Pulpit 
Back of the Canada Violet
these are the things my camera lens can reach..
Though …this female American Redstart…was sitting on her nest not to far from the road… Sweet~
Wild Ginger
Flower of Wild Ginger ..it sits on the ground..
Trillium
Darn it… Where's Jim when I need him? He's probably not reading this blog..because I do it upside down according to him..
anyway…
He told me a few times what this was….and darn it…I cant remember…
I think its Yellow Mandarin
Here is the flower…
We did see birds on this trip…
I just couldn’t reach them with my small lens…
So you will just have to take my word for it…
Cerulean,Kentucky, Worm-eating, Hooded,Black-throated Blue Warblers to name just a few.
If you have never been to this part of the world and you love looking a birds and all things nature……You must check out the
New River Birding and Nature Festival
You sure know how to show the best at the NRBNF, Dawn. I didn't get good shots at warblers, either, but I captured the landscapes. Great job!
ReplyDeleteYou saw a lot on this wonderful adventure. And I like the photos, even if you do do it upside down. ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful place! Love the sweet nesting Redstart :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a beautiful place! I love the snail photos.

It does look like a great place to bird and find other treasures. I like the lookout--wonder where that is. The red trillium is nice too.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos as always Dawn! Love the first snail photo!
ReplyDeleteLove this post. It is like I took a trip today without leaving the house!
ReplyDeleteGreat photographs. I've never seen a Redstart's nest, much less with the female sitting on it. Great capture.
