Recent Nature

In spite of the intensifying drought conditions which have resulted in far fewer than normal animal and insect observations, I've been out though namely just exploring new areas in Moultrie County. An unplanned visit to Scovill Zoo on the 12th per Ava's request also netted a few shot opportunities. Despite being in a protected environment, many of the outdoor animals we saw weren't enjoying the drought anymore than we were.

Near Sullivan IL, no idea what species this is.


Lancet Clubtail and a very successful first.


Eastern Pondhawk


Successful reverse ring macro.


Scovill Zoo, Decatur IL


Mr. Kipling (according to Ava)


Axolotl


Leopard Tortoise


Galapagos Tortoise


West Okaw State Fish and Wildlife Area




Green Heron vs. Painted Turtle at a nearby pond, would've been nice to be closer lol.
