8 July 2023 Lake Metroparks Visit

 We stopped to geocache at Lake Erie Bluffs in Lake Metroparks.  


Our journey included a sighting of a red-shouldered hawk perched on the top of a dead tree.



4 July 2023 Geocaching in the ANF

 It was a perfect holiday for continuing to visit historical sites in the Allegheny National Forest.  It was also time for deptford pinks to be blooming.  The flower is non-native and considered invasive, but has not made huge gains in our time visiting the ANF.  The flowers add a bit of color to fields.




We spotted this tiny salamander on a trail.



A fritillary on our journey


One of our stops included a visit to this wetland with a large area of open water and a very active osprey nest.  


Two of the young are visible.


It's a crowded house...
