June goulash

June ends with a stew made from images that did not manage to get their own postings.

While walking in Kokanee Creek Park early in the month, I saw a Common Yellowthroat,

and an American Redstart.

Our local Garter Snakes are comfortable on land and in water.

I often see hummingbirds battle for access to the feeder, but it is difficult to get a shot of it.

Somewhat easier (but not much) is a portrait of a visiting Rufous Hummingbird.

The season of damselflies has arrived. This is a Northern Spreadwing,

and this dragonfly is a male Common Whitetail.

A pair of Bald Eagles was hanging out in a tree near their nest.

And a female Osprey approached with an offer to share her fish—or maybe not.
