East Asian Tiger Beetle (Cicindela chinensis)Observer
whaichiDescription
First tiger beetle I've ever come across but they're something that I've wanted to find for several years now.
While taking photos of some pollinators among a cluster of rhododendron bushes a large form buzzed past me and landed on a path leading to a Buddhist worship hall. At first I thought it might be a large wasp, but as I got closer I realized it was a Cicindela species. Even better, it was very cooperative and didn't spook as I slowly inched toward it to snap some photos.

Not sure what is going on but this is the fourth birder that I know of who has had a phoebe perch on their binoculars or on their person at Commons Ford.

I need an adult! I cannot, for the life of me, bring a comfortable ID to this lady. 12 degrees celcius and raining. She was on a fence under an oak.

twillrichardsonDescription
Drama. These guys all normally get along pretty well, but here a squirrel decided to start something and nearly got kicked in the head as reward. Moments later they were back to munching sunflower seeds side-by-side again.

Very surprising to see a heron attempt to steal a fish from a Bald Eagle!
