Saturday evening (4/25), the robins were going nuts, I stared over to where the commotion was, new something was amiss and watched a Barred Owl fly off. Saturday morning I heard my first Hermit Thrush singing. I can still hear some woodcocks peenting. More insects, more butterflies and a daytime flying moth( an underwing). Coltsfoot in bloom on Sunday, and a stop at one of my favorite places yielded tiger beetles, at least 3 species.
This morning I heard a loon calling in flight. Last night I saw a Meadowlark, the first one I've seen in Rangeley.

So your tiger beetles were C. tranquebarica and what other two species?
One was a very beautiful red C.lambalis and the other I can't say. Every time I focused on it, either my dog wandered over (ever helpful you know), or it bolted the second I got focused. Pretty comical, I will go back on Tuesday for some further searching.
"Tiger Beetles" is close enough and they're all beautiful and quick in my limited experience chasing them on the South Tahoe, Calif. beaches in the 60's.
I just read a small part of your blog so far and feel confident that we are on the same page when it comes to being observant and appreciative about the wonders of nature.
Great blog and will add you to my short list of blogs I follow.
Thank you Owlman and welcome aboard!
