I went for a walk at the nature preserve by my parents this morning. The Deer Flies loved me until they realized I was doused in Deep Woods Off. Some some Cedar Waxwings, Great Blue Herons, Blue Jays, Orioles. As always I see Red Winged Blackbirds, Canada Geese, Robins, Mallards, Starlings. Tons of Dragonflies, which used to scare me when I was a kid. And a Monarch Butterfly.
