These caterpillars are really quite beautiful. One on its own is fine, but seeing a whole 'nest' of them makes me shudder. Fortunately, someone spotted this one, and then I noticed a second one further down the post.
Yesterday, 8 June 2021, I went on a long morning walk in South Glenmore Park with a handful of friends. The Covid restrictions have just changed yet again, and now we can have up to 10 people in a group, all wearing a mask and social-distancing. It felt so good to see friends, and I was reminded of what amazing birders they are. I don't know the songs and calls of birds, and these birders are so much better than I am at finding the birds.
One bird that we came across was a Philadelphia Vireo, not common here, Though I could not spot this bird, as it was hiding high up among the leaves, I quickly recorded its song, just for the record. I had been lucky enough to see and photograph this species at Point Pelee in May 2018.
The forecast for today was rain, so I knew I had to do some more deleting of old photos. Yesterday, I found that the bar showing how much space one has used up on a computer had turned to red from blue! However, my plans were changed for me this morning, when someone tried to hack into my computer (panic!). The screen showed a Microsoft page and said something about Firewall and that someone was trying to download my info such as credit card info, etc... I didn't take long enough to read it all, but turned off my computer immediately. When I turned it back on, all was fine, thank goodness.
Then, I put something in my microwave and it died! So, I needed to do some research on different models and eventually went out and bought a replacement. Not a large one, but it was still all I could do to carry it inside from my car. Now, all I have to do, is figure out how to use it. Needless to say, no old photos were deleted today.
