This morning a crow in my yard was begging to be fed exactly as a juvenile would beg its parents. The crow was a female and the behavior was pre-nesting pair bonding. She wants him to prove his ability to provide. Later I watched one crow present a wood frog to another. Hopefully, she was impressed.
Green Six-spotted Tiger Beetles are out and about. Tiger beetles are predators and feed on many insects that we consider pests.
And Spring Azures are flying. These bright blue butterflies are common at this time of year. In a few months there will be a second brood. Taxonomists think that there may be as many as nine species lumped under the name "Spring Azure."
There are still things to be learned 'out there'!
