Wednesday August 8, was great for insects and birds. I'll have to split the photo's up with another blog this evening. I'd like to share the importance of dead wood for perches in the next blog. I can't seem to get enough of the Green Heron's that hang out in the Japanese Garden. A reminder of a hike/lecture of White City on Saturday 8/11/12 at 10:00A starting from 59th and Stoney Island. It's a 3 hour 4.5 mile walk. I'll work on an ID for the insects this evening.
