Honey bee...I hope I can keep these happy. |
What a gorgeous day! The afternoon sun made every insect flitting about my garden so eye-catching that I just had to grab the camera.

Pretty dragonfly |

Geese stopping over |
The weather was so gorgeous that we went for a little ride around the Lake Erie Metro Park, camera in hand, of course. The Picnic area is right on a bay that invites migrating and non-migrating birds to stop over. Last year I only had my purse camera when I discovered the gathering of birds. The next day when I returned with my DSLR camera all of the birds had left. This year I had the DSLR with me and got these photos.

Coming in from all over on their way South |
Seagulls, ducks, swans and geese all in one shot! This is a small sample of the hundreds of birds in this bay.
 |
Plenty of action |
While I was there quite a few swans and geese came in and joined the crowd. Above is a small flock of swans that flew in from Canada in the background.
 |
Landing!!! |
A few minutes later a couple of small flocks of geese came from the same area, flying across from Canada.

Canada, US...they see no boundries |

Swans and the Ontario Wind Farm |
I liked the swans peacefully swimming (here in the US) with the Canadian Wind Farm in the background.

Geese, ducks, swans, gulls and the Edison Power Plant |
Here on the US side is a collection of waterbirds in front of our power plant.
