Winter Wren

The name is not a misnomer; even though Spring is here, this bird is still known as a “Winter Wren” no matter matter what time of year it is.

Tickseed Sunflower

It seems like I see more of this wildflower every year. Can’t say I mind, it’s very cheering.

Feather-legged Fly

I get excited when I realize that I’m looking at something new. With the help of duckduckgo and the right search terms, I was able to identify it as a Feather-legged Fly, probably Trichopoda pennipes. It was flitting around on the grassy field at Bath Nature Preserve this morning.
