A Few Local Greenway Insects:
On September 28, 2020, I visited Little Sugar Creek Greenway and McAlpine Creek Park. Among other subjects, I photographed several different insects.
Today I would like to share a few of these images:
Common Buckeye Butterfly; Grasshopper; two photographs of Cabbage White Butterflies; and a Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly.
Enjoy!
Stay safe and have a great day!

McAlpine Creek Park Osprey:
The Belted Kingfisher was not the only bird hunting in the pond when I visited McAlpine Creek Park on September 28, 2020. An Osprey, which has been hanging out there in recent weeks, was fishing at the same time.
I observed and photographed an unsuccessful attempt by the Osprey to snag a fish.
Here are several of my favorite images of the Osprey’s failed effort.
Enjoy!
Stay safe and have a great day!

Two “Greats” From McAlpine Creek Park:
A Great Egret was also hunting in the pond when I visited McAlpine Creek Park on September 28, 2020.
In addition, there is a Great Blue Heron, with a partially amputated left lower extremity, that hangs out in the park. This bird is obviously quite accustomed to being around people, and permits non-threatening close approaches.
Here are several images of these two birds from my September 28th visit to McAlpine Creek Park.
Enjoy!
Stay safe and have a great day!
