Heavily lined and patterned cut cypress knee
Heavily lined and patterned cut cypress knee
Buckeye husk upside-down and starting to disintegrate
Ovoids ...
When bald cypress knees grow in grassy areas that are regularly cut with heavy-duty mowers, the remaining growth is fascinating.
The buckeye husk - much smaller - overwinters and acquires divots and cracks ...

In water green with tree reflections, two white swans swim toward each other
Two white swans curve necks and narrow gap between them, still swimming
Finally two white swans draw close and barely touch, bills down - it looks like a heart shape
The Mute Swans had a graceful little dance with a slow approach and necks bent - they drew closer, still with curved necks ... finally ending in a heart shape from which they gracefully withdrew and passed by one another (2022) #SpringGroveCemetery

Mute Swan in earnest pursuit of goose interlopers
Goose seeking respite from mad swan
The Mute Swan (neck bent & speed attained) notes that he treed one goose ... that was after another goose scrambled over a rock ledge (scattering the turtles) and the swan viciously bit a rock several times ... fun times in #SpringGroveCemetery - mating season & territorial disputes

Collage of three photographs each one showing young and two showing female feeding young
Collage of seven photographs of female heavily streaked brown birds, some with yellow on throat and a touch of red on shoulders
Summer 2023 - I was able to photograph Red-winged Blackbird fledglings, as well as females!
I hope these fascinating birds return to the same place - #SpringGroveCemetery - so I can watch the females dance on the pond duckweed, catch insects and feed their young 🪶🌿

Spiny softshell turtle on a pond bank - a rare encounter!
I was so thrilled to see this delightful turtle somewhere I could stop my car and use my Olympus M.Zuiko 100-400mm lens out a window to take a photograph! #Herps

Collage with six photographs of large black, white and red Pileated Woodpeckers
In Dec 2018, I watched a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers forage for hackberries and do some acrobatics - I had to stand in a road to take any photographs! #SpringGroveCemetery 🌿 🪶

Great Blue Heron with shadows on feathers, sitting on fallen branches
Great Blue Heron calmly sitting on a downed branch
Great Blue Heron on fallen branches - sunlight moving closer
Great Blue Herons like the tangled snags of downed branches at the far end of this pond - turtles also bask here at times - (my lens is equivalent to 800mm) - the heron preened & then scoped things out, not actively fishing #SpringGroveCemetery

This American Goldfinch was happily foraging for zinnia seeds - looking around periodically. These little birds are granivores (seed eaters), but will eat tree buds & young bark with some incidental feeding on insects - #SpringGroveCemetery

American Goldfinch with lots of yellow on chest and belly but feathers are starting to change - eating zinnia seeds as it clings to stem
This American Goldfinch surprised me flying down to one of the zinnias I was examing for skippers - goldfinches eat the seeds with great enthusiasm #SpringGroveCemetery

A well pucked over sunflower head hanging down
Sunflowers often hang their heads as the seeds begin to ripen. This one has been plucked - probably by American Goldfinches - #SpringGroveCemetery has a few areas with flowering plants that appeal to birds - other areas have flowers beloved by pollinators & many acres are wild.
