• Some Different Animals at Middle Creek

    A trip to Middle Creek in late summer led to some unexpected viewing. I went in search of a Hudsonian Godwit, but found something else entirely. First up was this group of horses, hitched to a fence with no riders in sight:

    I then spied this wedding party (perhaps Mennonite?) near the visitors center.

    An finally, that Hudsonian Godwit and some Canada Geese with an interloper Great Egret.

  • Summer at Middle Creek

    I don’t make it to Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area in Lancaster and Lebanon counties all that often during the Summer. Here are a few shots from around the property.

    A lovely tiger swallowtail decided to hang out.
    Geese can be found at Middle Creek almost any time of year.
    The corn is looking good.
    Farming is done at Middle Creek. The fields provide habitat and food for some species.
    Pennsylvania farm country in a nutshell.
    I never really noticed the hills around this area as much as on this trip.
    Much to do here other than wildlife viewing.
    A glamorous egret interloper with the geese.
    Purple wildflowers along this pond.
    Lots of wildflowers everywhere ….
  • A Little Lancaster County Christmas Closer to Home

    Here is a look around the Lancaster County Farmers Market in Strafford. It’s not in Lancaster County, so I suspect the name has more to do with the origin of some of the vendors. This is a great place no matter.

    Now, this is my kind of holiday display.
    A little coffee to go with those sweets.
    Decisions, decisions …
