Made a new friend.

Ambush bug, a sit and wait predator, they camouflage on flowers and wait for other unsuspecting insects to land.

That is in fact two rattlensakes.

Yes, I missed you boogers too.

They grow up so fast, it was about a month. The barn swallows all fledged while I was away. They'll probably be around for a bit longer before officially leaving the nest.

Shit birds.

Two accurate memes of myself and...

Someone didn't finish their breakfast. Whoever it was, clearly a picky eater.

Buggy locations often attract birds that hunt on the wing like swallows, swifts, and flycatchers. Listen for the snapping of bills as birds catch their snacks! These Barn Swallows exhibit their aerial acrobatics as they catch flying insects above a berm in Brooklyn.

Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica)

The iconic Barn Swallow is the most widespread species of swallow in the world, and may well have the largest natural distribution of all passerines, with a range of over 251 square kilometers globally. They prefer open country as a habitat, such as meadows, pastures, and farmland. It drinks by flying low over water and scooping up water with its wide-open mouth, and bathes similarly, by flying over the water and immersing itself for an instant.

One of my favorite places to visit on my 2022 road trip would have to be Petrified Forest National Park. The sheer amount of petrified logs is so cool, it really does look like a downed forest, the logs sawed into chunks. Strange and beautiful. The uniqueness of it all. The blue badlands too! the colors of those hills.. Purple, blue/teal, green, pinks!

After that I went to White sands National Park. Those sands can really white! Probably got a little heat-stroak-y, Drew a couple barn swallows and bats that were around the visitor center.

Image ID: The drawing done in watercolor is of some of the blue badlands within a wash of dark beige and brown pebbles. the bottom layer is a  light purple, above that a dark purple, above that a medium blue-teal, above that a sage green, and above that is a pink. Atop some of them is dark brown chunks of rock. a chunk of yellow and red petrified wood sits within the wash as well.    A pencil drawing of a chunked log of petrified wood.    A series of small drawings of standing barn swallows and huddling little brown bats.

11 August 2023 - Friday Field Notes

Saw not one, but two prairie rattlesnakes this week. Despite having the little alarm rattle on the tail, a lot of times the prairie rattlesnake will freeze and hope you just pass on by without noticing them.

Found this Swallowtail Butterfly in the breezeway of my apartment. Something took a bite out of the wings, my guess would be the Barn Swallows that are also nesting in the breezeway. Felt kind of bad for it, but butterflies are also notoriously hard to photograph. Managed to capture the bugger and stick it on my balcony so it could fly off.

And the Barn Swallows hatched! Look at the little frog face babies! Second batch of nestlings in the ice cream tub. Neapolitan flavor.

These Common Checkered Skippers were getting it on when I was trying to set up a game camera. Chain kink, hope they had a safe word.

And this lovely Rocky Mountain Bee Plant. A lot of people say it's kind of smelly, but I didn't notice anything. Very pretty and attracts all sorts of pollinators.
