"Why don't we go out to Ottawa NWR?" said the Doodles. "We could see some really swell fall migrating kind of birds out there!" said the Doodles. And say "Helloooo" to Rebecca too!
And so we went. And what did Loopy and the Doodles spy with their little eyes?...
Well, the Doodles was using her "DoodleVision" option on her camera and she saw things NO ONE else had ever seen before!
Have you ever seen a Bullfrog like this one?

Speaking of frogs fat fannies...guess what we saw...
and I don't want to know where those bubbles are coming from...

And then we spotted these feathers attached to this Cedar Waxwing.
They don't smell like cedar by the way, so don't hang one in your closet.
Not that I ever tried it...phewww...

Here we have Maw and Paw American Goldfinch stuffing the gullet of Junior.
That's a very jealous young Song Sparrow watching(I think...).
P.S.-I'm wrong, it's a House Sparrow. That would explain all of the adult House Sparrows in the area, wouldn't it?
Thanks Ben!

Every once in a while I would look up to see if there was something other than a Bullfrog.
Golly! A Black Swallowtail!

For the longest time I've been trying to get a shot of the wings of a Eastern Tailed-Blue butterfly...

Holy Cow! It's not a Bullfrog! It's a Northern Leopard Frog.
A frog by any other name...IS STILL A FROG!

Thanks for the laughs Dave! Loved the Waxwing and Giant pix.
ReplyDeleteThe Frogs blog. That's what I'll call it.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great set of photos! bulleopardwaxfly!
ReplyDeleteMooned by a frog!
ReplyDeleteFun stuff. I love Leopard Frogs. I believe your sparrow with the Goldfinches is a House Sparrow, and the finch-like brown job in one of the final pics is a young Indigo Bunting.

Number one thanks to our buddy Ben for correcting my mistakes! (Please don't look through the blog, there's many more I'm sure!)
ReplyDeleteOboy, a new word from Susan, must be a Canadian term...
Bob, should I start another blog?
Ha, how about "Moon River" for Andy(Andy Williams, get it?)
Binaca, it's too easy to make you laugh, though when I'm not trying to be funny, you COULD hold back a little...
Haha! I like Doodle O'Vision... Cool shots of the frogs too.
ReplyDeleteI could be wrong on that Indigo Bunting, its a tough one.
ReplyDeleteBen, I think you were right. It is hard to tell in the fall!
