June, 2011 Edition
A family of Canada Geese are out for a picnic along Killbuck Creek. Notice the little one peeking out from the grass. See Canada Goose Goslings for more pictures of this family group.
A male Rose-breasted Grosbeak pauses on his way north. We only see these delightful birds for a few days each spring, but you may see more of them at Rose-breasted Grosbeaks.
A female Wood Duck leads her ducklings across Shadyside Lake. See Waterfowl for more pictures of these and other ducks.
The mother Robin arrives with a snack for her hatchlings. We were able to follow this Robin family from the nest building to fledging. See Fledging Robins for their full story.
This Red Admiral butterfly paused in the Killbuck Wetlands long enough to have its picture taken. For pictures of wild animals that aren't birds, see Other Critters.
A bird we see in Indiana only during spring migration is the Northern Parula Warbler. See Songbirds for more pictures of this warbler and other birds.
