A medium-sized orange butterfly is perched on Red Clover. This is an Atlantis Fritillary, photographed in late June in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. The habitat of the Atlantis Fritillary includes forest openings, upland pastures, bogs, areas near woodland streams, and meadows. Atlantis Fritillaries are fairly common in the Adirondack region and usually fly from about mid-June to early September.

The image shows a trail winding through a mixed woods forest in late summer in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. Mixed wood forests represent a transition zone between the forested wetlands on lower elevations and northern hardwood forests, which occupy the better drained, gentle slopes at a slightly higher elevation. In these in-between environments, conifers such as Red Spruce and Balsam Fir mix with Eastern Hemlock, as well as deciduous trees, including Red Maple, Yellow Birch, and other hardwoods.

A brown bird with long legs is wading in the shallow edge of a pond. This is an American Bittern. This bird spends its winters on coastal plains in the southern US and further south in Mexico and Bermuda. It leaves for its breeding grounds in the northern US and southern Canada in early spring. It usually arrives in the Adirondack region by late April or early May.

A small bird with a blue-gray body and cinnamon-brown breast is perched on a peanut feeder. This is a Red-breasted Nuthatch, photographed in our backyard near Lake Placid, in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. The Red-breasted Nuthatch is one of two nuthatch species found in the Adirondack Park. It is most frequently seen in conifer forests or mixed woodland with a strong coniferous component, in contrast to our other nuthatch – the slightly larger White-breasted Nuthatch, which prefers deciduous forests.

The image is a head shot of a bird with a lovely blue crest. This is a Blue Jay, one of our year-round residents and a frequent visitor to our feeding stations in winter. The Blue Jay is a small jay, larger than an American Robin, but smaller than an American Crow. A member of the Covid family, the Blue Jay is easily recognizable, with striking blue, white, and black plumage and a perky crest that is often lowered when the bird is among family and flock members. The bird’s upperparts are various shade of blue; its underparts are grayish white. Males and females are similar, with males about 3% larger. Blue Jays have an extensive array of vocalizations. The jay’s whisper song is a quiet mixture of clicks, chucks, and whines sometimes lasting over two minutes. The most familiar of the jay’s vocalizations is its loud “jeer” call, used as a contact call, for mobbing, and when potentially threatened. Blue Jays are also frequently heard making “pump handle calls.”

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #HeadShots. Here’s a thoughtful Blue Jay, wondering when I am going to throw out some more peanuts. wildadirondacks.org/adirondack-w...

A group of red leaves is shown against a dark background. These are Sugar Maple leaves, photographed in late September in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. Like other maples, Sugar Maples have opposite, lobed leaves. The leaves of the Sugar Maple usually have five squarish, shallow lobes. Each of the largest three lobes has one to several sharp-pointed tips. There is a moderately deep U-shaped notch (sinus) between the lobes. The upper surface of a Sugar Maple leaf is green in the summer; the lower surface is pale green to whitish. Sugar Maple leaves turn red, yellow, or orange in autumn, contributing to the brilliant palette of colors seen in September and early October in the Adirondacks.

An attractive orange butterfly is perched on low vegetation by a roadside in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New Yor. This is a Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui) –a migratory, orange-and-brown butterfly found throughout the Adirondacks from late May through September, with peak numbers in July and August. Often called the thistle butterfly, it thrives in open areas, roadsides, and meadows, where it feeds on nectar and lays eggs.

Two large gray birds are perched on a nest of twigs in the top of a tall tree. These are Great Blue Herons. Great Blue Herons are mostly monogamous during a single breeding season. Once a pair forms through courtship, they generally remain together to build the nest, incubate eggs, and raise young, with both parents sharing duties. However, they do not form lifelong bonds; most individuals choose new mates each year. This photo was taken in Essex County in the Adirondack Park in upstate New York.

A black and white bird is perched on a branch on a sunny day against a background of leaves. This is a Black-and-white Warbler. The Black-and-white Warbler (Mniotilta varia), as the name implies, sports a black and white striped crown and back. Its song is a lengthy series of thin, squeaky high-pitched notes, sometimes described as the sound of a squeaky wheel. This warbler is usually seen creeping along branches and trucks, often upside down, like a nuthatch. In the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York, this warbler is a summer resident, which usually arrives (like most of our other warblers) in May.

A medium-sized, black and orange butterfly is posing on a yellow flower. This is a Baltimore Checkerspot, a member of the Brushfoot family found near wet meadows or on old fields in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. They are not a common butterfly in our region. There are only 26 iNaturalist observations of this butterfly in the Adirondack Park. For comparison, there are nearly a thousand observations of the Monarch and nearly 800 observations of the White Admiral within Park boundaries.

A small blue butterfly is perched on a plant. This is an Eastern Tailed-Blue, a butterfly which derives its name from the narrow tail on the hind wing. This butterfly is said to be one of the East's most abundant butterflies, having adapted readily to human activities. Typical habitats of the Eastern Tailed-Blue are open, sunny places, including meadows, forest clearings, disturbed areas, and city lots.

A gray bird with an orange breast is foraging on the grass. This is an American Robin. They are a year-round resident in the Adirondacks, but we see very few of them in the winter months in the interior of the Adirondack Park. In March and April, they return in large numbers, heralding the end of what is almost always a cold and lengthy winter.

Two large black and white birds with black-and-white striped collars and checkerboard backs are floating in a slow-moving stream. These are Common Loons, photographed on the Black Pond Trail at the Paul Smith’s College VIC in the Adirondack Mountains. These birds are powerful, agile divers that catch small fish in fast underwater chases, often disappearing under the surface for what seems like hours and popping up on the other side of the lake. They are medium-distance migrants, that usually arrive in the Adirondacks in April.

The photo shows a marsh in autumn, with the deep blue sky reflected in the quiet water. This is Heron Marsh, a marsh in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. The photo was taken from the Heron Marsh Trail, one of several interpretive nature trails at the Paul Smith’s College VIC – a nature center with over 25 miles of trails on a 3,000 acre property.

The photo shows a plant with bell-shaped, nodding, pink flowers. This is Bog Rosemary (Andromeda polifolia), a small, native evergreen shrub with blue-gray foliage. It produces small pinkish flowers in spring. Bog Rosemary grows in poorly drained soils in bogs, fens, and other peatlands. This photo was taken on Barnum Bog, in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York.

A brown bird with olive-brown upper parts, white underparts with bold, blackish-streaked spots, and a prominent white eye ring is perched on a branch. This is an Ovenbird, the largest of our Adirondack warblers. Ovenbirds are more often heard than seen. Male Ovenbirds belt out a loud, repetitive series of about 8-12 two-parted notes from a mid-level perch: “tea-Cher, tea-Cher, tea-CHER, Tea-CHER, TEA-CHER.” The song generally rises in both volume and pitch.

A medium-sized butterfly with pinkish orange markings across the fore wing is perched on a pinkish-white flower. This is an American Lady butterfly. It is a migratory butterfly the flies in the Adirondack Mountains during June, July, and August. American Ladies feed almost exclusively on flower nectar, including that of the pearly everlasting, dogbane, aster, goldenrod, marigold, and common milkweed. I took this photograph in early July on Heaven Hill, near Lake Placid in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York.

A gray and white bird is walking along a sandy beach. This is a Ring-billed Gull. I took this photograph in early November on the beach at Mirror Lake in Lake Placid, New York, before the lake froze over. The Ring-billed Gull is the most common gull regularly seen in New York State. It is one of two gulls that breed in the Adirondack Park, the other being the Herring Gull. The Ring-billed Gull is a partial, mid- to long-distance migrant. Most individuals depart their breeding regions in late summer and early fall to winter in warmer areas. As lakes freeze over in the Adirondack interior, these gulls (which are frequently seen throughout the Adirondacks during the warmer months) gradually disappear in search of open water. Winter birders in the Adirondacks can find Ring-billed Gulls, along with a host of other gulls and waterfowl, along the Lake Champlain coast.

The image shows a long-distance shot of two Canada Geese swimming on an oxbow of the Ausable River in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. This photograph was taken two days ago. Yesterday, the female was on her nest in a small vegetation island in the oxbow, and the male was nearby keeping watch. I have been monitoring this site for several years, and every year a pair of Canada Geese nests here in the same small vegetation island in the oxbow. Canada Geese mate for life, so this is very likely the same pair I have been following in previous years.

A plump, brown bird is perched on a branch, belting out a very loud, long song. The bird has a short, stubby tail that he is holding up. His plumage is rather nondescript; he’s basically a brown bird with some barring on his belly, wings, and tail. He has his beak opened in loud, jubilant song, showing off his bright yellow and orange mouth. This is a Winter Wren, a tiny bird with a big voice. This one is making a home in our backyard near Lake Placid, in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York.

A handsome warbler with a white belly and chestnut streak on its sides is perched on a branch in a second-growth deciduous forest. This is a male Chestnut-sided Warbler. Chestnut-sided Warblers are one of the more common warblers. Partners in Flight estimates a global breeding population of 19 million, with 70% in Canada and 30% in the US. The main breeding range for this warbler includes southern Canada and the northeastern region of the United States, southward through the Appalachian Mountains to northern Georgia. The Chestnut-sided Warbler is an early successional species, nesting in second-growth deciduous forests.
