It is now May. Insects that we haven’t seen for months are back among us. Reptiles and amphibians are active as if winter had never happened. Many birds that have been far away in Central and South America have returned to the Museum grounds to make nests and raise families. It’s as if they never left.
Keep your eyes and ears open for these creatures as you walk the paths and trails here at the Museum. I’ve gathered more than a dozen photos of various creatures from dragonflies to reptiles and amphibs to birds for you to gaze upon in hopes of inspiring to you to get out and have a look around for yourself.












And finally several green heron shots.




If I were you, I’d be on the way out the door right now!
