| A common buckeye butterfly (junonia coenia) shares the floral wealth on the Ft. Morgan peninsula with the migrating monarchs and the Gulf fritillaries. Something’s taken a bite of his right wing, but he’s still flying and feeding… |

| A black and white warbler, Mniotilta varia, captured, banded and released on the Ft. Morgan peninsula, Saturday, Oct. 14, 2006. Waking up on Gator Lake again, we decided to head down to visit Bob Sargent’s bird banding brigade again this morning. We’ll write about the final report on the 2006 fall bird count when the numbers are crunched - and post more photos galore as the muse strikes.

Bob Riley was planning on coming down for a photo op, but the workers are just now setting up to start removing asbestos. |

| If you have not been to the Alabama Gulf Coast in October, you are missing the best time of year. Life here is a beach now when you can find a secluded spot behind the Flora-Bama without so many tourists and thier kids cluttering up the place, not so many rednecks drinking Budweiser along the Redneck Riviera. |
