On the hunt. A Green Darner patrolling the skies over a native prairie. Northeast Kansas, last week.

Marginal backlit video of a bird we regularly see and hear in the backyard here in NE Kansas, but not too often does it visit the birdbath. Brown Thrasher. Hot day.

Several species of Liatris are blooming here in eastern KS, and the bumblebees are busy. So are the beetles who photobombed this picture!

It's too hot to do much birding outside here in the Manhattan KS area, but the birdbath on the back deck has been fun to watch. Here is a young (hatched this spring or summer) Summer Tanager coming in for a drink. It is in active molt; I've included a closeup of the white feather sheaths protecting those new feathers as they grow in.

It's been hot here, as you might have heard. And we have a few more days of it, according to the forecast.

But it might be even hotter if you are covered with owl feathers. This Barred Owl is fluttering its throat to stay cooler while it thinks about a short flight to get to the birdbath. Manhattan KS
