Friday, August 24, 2012. The mosaic darners, genus Aeshna. Are of course the large, conspicuous dragonflies that fly, sometimes in impressive swarms, throughout the Ontario summer. Of the one dozen species. Found in Ontario, eight. Are known from the Thunder Bay District. Of these, three - the Sedge. Have distinctly northern affinities and are among the less commonly seen species in our region. At sites where I'd found them previously. The Subarctic Darner,. July 15, 2012.

All posts for the month November, 2013. Back in a blaze of orange! On November 26, 2013. Sorry, it’s been a while. I’ve had a hectic summer and autumn and blogging has kind of fallen away for a while. However, I am at least thinking about it again, so much so that here I am typing away, for what it’s worth! Anyway, the past week has been eventful, what with the 1stW Elegant Tern and a mystery gull along the Niagara River! Apart from a broken outer primary on the RH wing the bird appeared to be in good co...

All posts for the month January, 2013. Frosted in the Rain. On January 29, 2013. A phone call from HC this morning secured me the pleasure of visiting some fine folk who are presently hosting a rather nice bird – this ghostly. Hoary Redpoll. I hadn’t seen one for quite some time so was eager to get a few photos for my files. As it turned out the bird was easy to see, but the photos were certainly not going to be anything special what with the ultra dreary “British winter” light! On January 29, 2013.

All posts for the month May, 2013. On May 31, 2013. I’ve always wondered just what you’d get if you crossed Shrek with Frankenstein… well, it’s obvious innit – Schreckensteinia! Kidding aside, the tiny moths in the family Schreckensteiniidae are a most interesting bunch and I was delighted to pluck one off the sheet the night before last. Until recently I think I would have been stumped at the strange appearance of this moth, but last year I was fortunate to see another member of the clan called. The eur...

The Kingston Murre… | Adventures in Mothland
https://adventuresinmothland.wordpress.com/2013/12/05/the-kingston-murre
The Kingston Murre…. On December 5, 2013. There I was painting a female Dickcissel for “The Birds of Brazil” when a phone call from MK got me all on edge. “Have you heard about the Thick-billed Murre in Kingston? It was as simple as that. One look at the photos posted on e-bird and I was pretty excited already. I was somewhat less excited about the prospect of getting out of bed at 3 in the morning though, as may well imagine. However, one has to suffer from time to time I guess…. Only time would tell.

All posts for the month November, 2012. Fun in Barrie…. On November 5, 2012. The Wild Birds Unlimited store in Barrie. Go there for all your seed needs and more…. No birds today, so I’ll post a few more photos from yesterday. Unfortunately the Pine Grosbeak was a no-show for those who looked today, but the Wood-pewee (now definitely identified as an Eastern) was still present. Anyway, hope you like the photos…. The lingering Red-eyed Vireo. Maybe it will hang around for the winter listers? The immature R...

A long time coming… | Adventures in Mothland
https://adventuresinmothland.wordpress.com/2013/05/29/a-long-time-coming
A long time coming…. On May 29, 2013. I got back from the pub yesterday evening and made the remarkable decision to plug the moth trap in. Only odd because it was absolutely bucketing down outside and I normally wouldn’t bother in such conditions. Anyway, I did and was happy I’d done so…. All the time I was thinking “I really should be out birding”…. 8211; The Slowpoke. So I hastened the photo taking in case the moth decided to activate and disappear into hyperspace. Luckily it didn’t! There is a single ...
