10 July 2024 Visiting Moebis Nature Preserve

Hummingbird moths are a fun find during the summer. They are not very common so each find is a treat. I had stopped for an after-work visit to Moebis Nature Preserve where I spotted this photogenic one.

I was also lucky that a friend arrived with his two great dogs while I was gathering images. His dogs are amazingly friendly and great on a trail.

After our walk, we parted and I took off to see what was on the water. This great blue heron was an added treat.

4 August 2023 Metroparks Surprise

I stolled for an evening walk along the Chgrin River. I am often happy to spot a great blue heron in the waters of the Chagrin. This evening was not an exception. My surpise came during a walk in a near field where I saw a hummingbird moth. I see them very infrequently so each sighting is a treat. This one was concentrated on gathering nectar and gave me an opportunity for a few images.
