Not so long ago I put up some pics from Lake Frank. Rock Creek Regional Park is pretty much just across the road, and leads to Lake Needwood. I went up there a second time to have a look at the Rock Creek end of things.
The namesake Rock Creek
There were deer all over the place, so I took a few pics.
White-tailed deer. One of many.
White-tailed deer. Number two of many.
A bumblebee in flight
Louisiana waterthrush near the creek
And a Louisiana waterthrush singing its hear out
A skunk cabbage-filled swamp along the trail
And just to make this post as complex as possible, I am including a camoflage animal shot. Can you find it and name it? Answer photo is at the bottom of this post.
Yellow violet, a seeming contradiction
Some pretty fungi that I am unfamiliar with
Next up in the frog zone are the pickerel frogs, which are very common this time of year along the streams
Red-bellied cooter at Lake Needwood
Red-tailed hawk, with two blue-gray gnatcatchers behind it. The gnats were attracted to the hawk and the gnatcatchers were eating them.
And now, if you have read this far, it is quiz time. A bird and a feather. What species do you think these are (from).
Great pic of a bird, but can you name it?
Might be harder or easier, but here is a distinctive feather. Name the bird
As no one has taken a stab at this feather, I will tell you it is from a northern flicker.
And, since you have been waiting, here is the close-up of the camoflage animal.
Another white-tailed deer
