Nothing New at Mead

Well, nothing new, species-wise, arriving in the park but I got some new photos. It has been a while since I took a shot of a Pileated Woodpecker but when one is right by the parking lot what is one to do?



I did hear some bird activity down by the pond but it was caused by smaller birds greeting an unwelcome guest. One of the Barred Owls came out in the open to sit out on one of the dead snags.



Closer to the club house, a Great Blue Heron was on yet another snag.



Along the creek, a Tiger Swallowtail pauses for a few seconds. Just wish it would eat that air potato vine!



Despite the calm in the garden I am glad to be able to find something to get shots of.
