    I don’t know the proper name, but we call these “Buffalo Beans”. They form pods similar to a broad bean later in the year. The beetle was a bonus!

    Watching Muskrats again, this time had my decent camera with me!

    Cormorants raiding the stocked fish, the owner hates these birds.

    We have a seasonal campsite, our site backs onto the water. A lot of mornings, I’ll take coffee, camp chair, camera and tripod to the edge, and wait to see what’s active. The site used to be a strip mine for coal back in the days the land didn’t have to be reclaimed, so, long deep trenches were cut that eventually filled with water. It’s about 50′ deep in the middle. The owner has stocked it with trout and carp, so he really dislikes the pelicans and cormorants that migrate through each spring and use his fish to refuel. Deer, coyote, moose are common in the area, and it’s on a major migratory bird flight path for many species that breed in the arctic. You never know what you’re going to see!

    Nice shot Roger, I have the max file size set to 5 megabytes, any larger and it will slow the site down and I’ll run outta space. :)

    On the way to our seasonal site each week, we pass through Elk Island Park. There are some elk here, but the most numerous large mammal is the Bison. There are two species here, pictured is the Woodland Bison. The woodland Bison are north of Hiway 16, and the Plains Bison are on the South side.
