Bountifulbombus - *Common Loon Screaming At 3am*

Blue Jay

It was only about ten feet away, and it didn’t fly away while I was taking pictures, it didn’t even fly away when I was four feet away. Maybe it was defending the pile of peanuts that was right next to it? What a great bird!

Morus bassanus - Northern Gannet

A SUPER COOL BIRD, GANNETS ARE AMAZING!!

I think this is an Eastern Ringtail. It was found on August 5th, at the Shenandoah River State Park in Virginia. What a neat bug!

Larus delawarensis - Ring-billed Gull

Sometimes these three would all turn their heads in the same direction at the same time. It was adorable.

Found a super cool dragonfly. It was about as big as my hand.

UPDATE!!!!!! It’s a Northern Harrier. I don’t see them very often so I’m not really very good at identifying them. 

I’m not sure what bird this is actually.

 Sorry for the bad quality pictures. If anyone knows what bird this is, could they tell me? Thanks!

Distracted by Birds

I went outside to look for moths this morning since it's National Moth Week, and I had my camera with me to take pictures. I ended up finding a Barred Owl being yelled by Northern Cardinals and attacked by Blue Jays. I tried to get a picture of the Barred Owl, but the other birds scared it off.
