The last of 7 posts on our trip to Ward Pound Ridge. Marc photographed the first 3 and I enhanced them.
WPR Landscapes
Ward Pond Ridge
WPR Plants
Sometimes I’ll use iNaturalist on my phone at home to ID a plant on the computer screen. When that doesn’t work, I’ll search online until I find it. I am not sure about my berry ID in the last photo.
WPR Birds
I didn’t see that many birds. My focus was on insects. I used AI to fix the blurry chipping sparrow.
WPR Insects
The first thing I saw at Ward Pond Ridge was a Cicada. I can’t tell which one of the hundreds of species it is. It is about 2 inches long.
WPR Odonates
These are slightly easier to identify than skippers.
WPR Skippers
More from Ward Pound Ridge. These are so hard to identify, I bet I got some of them wrong. I would love some help correcting the labels.
WPR Butterflies
I’ll be making 7 posts on Ward Pound Ridge Reservation in Westchester, New York. I would love to get a seasonal pass but they only offer passes to Westchester residents. It is a good place to look for butterflies in the summer in between the Spring and Fall bird migration.
Ward Pound Ridge Greenery
Some mixed greens that we enjoyed seeing. The last image is a granite moss covered glacial erratic.
