Sunflower head and fields. This is Pittman-Robertson land and this location will be open for dove hunting in about three weeks. Along with plenty of doves, small flocks of American goldfinches were busting out all over as I walked down a wide row.
Fallow field, just a little way down from the sunflowers. This land looked like ideal habitat, but small signs at the forest edge told me the water table was high and the ground was often soaked.
A Marsh or Swamp Mallow. This plant is normally found on fairly wet ground, and is a type of hibiscus.
Soybeans planted in a tree-lined alley.
Butterflies on ironweed. Along with several tiger swallowtails, there was a monarch butterful, several spicebush swallowtails, and a blue skipper. Iron weed is normally found on ground that is quite wet at least part of the year.
A large marsh with water lillies. Ideal duck habitat.
