** Ray Gauvin photographed a WHITE ADMIRAL BUTTERFLY [Amiral] on Sept. 02, nectaring. Note that it shows significant wear.

** Brian Stone shares some mushroom photos he took at Kejimkujic National Park last week. Most are quite common ones that we can expect to see after the predicted rains this week. The specimens include one of our several CORALS ... the FLY AGARIC which is a very common non-edible species, showing it just emerging and then emerged ... the Bolete, PAINTED SUILLUS, which is always found under White Pine ... one of the SCABER STALK Boletes ... the GEM-STUDDED PUFFBALL ... and the much less commonly seen RUSSELLS BOLETE.

** Brian also photographed a male RUDDY DUCK [Érismature rousse] at the Hampton Lagoon on Monday. It appears to be going into/ in, winter plumage. Brian had a good day at the Hampton Lagoon. He also got a few photos of a SOLITARY SANDPIPER [Chevalier solitaire] as well as a MONARCH BUTTERFLY [Monarque] that appears very fresh. Some interesting poses of an OSPREY [Balbuzard pêcheur], a close up of the bloom of the plant EYEBRIGHT, a cooperative male BELTED KINGFISHER [Martin-pêcheur d'Amérique] and a male WOOD DUCK [Canard branchu] in non-breeding plumage.
