Broad-headed bug

Broad-headed bug
This insect was spotted on a blade of grass in Carburn Park a few mornings ago, 16 August 2014. I looked on Google last night, but was unable to find the ID.

It's the time of year when the various tiny Warblers are passing through the city again. Various ones were seen, but without binoculars, I couldn't really see them. For me, the highlight of the three-hour stroll was seeing a female White-tailed Deer and her twins. They were hidden deep in the bushes and trees, making it difficult to get photos. Such a treat to see these gorgeous wild animals.

I ended up being out all day as Flickr/birder/photographer friend, Pam, asked if I wanted to go SE of the city to the Frank Lake area, straight after the morning's walk. We had a fun afternoon, with a few reasonable bird sightings. The clouds were amazing, though somehow I didn't manage to get any good photos of them. Seeing them reflected in the lake was perhaps the best place. Thanks, Pam, for suggesting a drive to one of my favourite areas!
