Cabbage White butterfly
or Small White. This one is a female. The two dots on each fore wing make the distinction. Males only have one.

Birdsfoot Trefoil
I wondered about this plant’s name until I discovered it’s based on the appearance of the seed pods, not the flower.

American Robin
There is no shortage of this bird around the lake, but they don’t stay in one place long at all and rarely do I get a chance to get close enough to get a decent picture. Today, though, after I had just mowed some lawn and was sitting at a nearby picnic table one came by looking for some freshly stirred up bugs. I don’t think he realized I was there.

Cedar Waxwing
These pictures aren’t the best, but show enough detail for identification. The pictures also represent the first time (and only time so far) that I had ever seen this particular bird.
