Happy International Cat Day

My partner accidentally captured #bee drama at this Kankakee mallow in our garden today, and I’ve watched it approximately fifty times

Every sundown I hear a tree frog commuting over the patio roof from the wall to the trellis. Last evening I heard rustling in the hop leaves soon after and managed to spot the frog. #Herps

Frogs are holding a festival down by the old train tracks, dogs are barking about something, and over here it’s a firefly sanctuary. Also it smells great because the basswood is blooming. #Inverts #Herps

Told my partner that I thought I heard a northern waterthrush in the garden (using the Merlin app). He saw a bird in the pond out the window, and I asked him to take video. Ohoho, migrating waterthrush stopover confirmed
