Oct 21, 2013: Bedstraw Sphinx
Another sphinx moth that inhabits the Park is the Bedstraw Sphinx (or Gallium Sphinx), although not as common as the White-lined Sphinx. Twice now I have found the caterpillar of this species. As with the White-lined Sphinx, the caterpillar is highly variable. The photo shows the only variation that I have observed. The larva is up to 8 cm long. Common foodplants include: bedstraw, fireweed, and other plants in the evening primrose family (Onagraceae). 10/17/13 (Wolf. Oesterreich)

Oct 9, 2013: Erv's Field Notes #62
Female Band-winged Meadowhawk. 8/1/13 (Wolf. Oesterreich)
Monday, October 7, 2013, 5:30 pm, Clear, sunny, light wind, Temp. 71 degrees F.
I took a walk along the north shore this evening. I did not bring my camera along because I told myself I just needed the exercise, no time to look for insects. I was looking directly into the sun and its reflection off the water . As I walked with my head down, it was difficult to see much more than the path in front of me. Nevertheless, the glistening wings of a small dragonfly caught my eye as it flushed from the nearby vegetation and flew out over the water a short distance. I continued to watch it as it landed on a large rock very near where I was standing. Now the sun was to my right and behind me as I looked at the insect with my binoculars. I could see that it was a female Meadowhawk. The body was brownish green, and the wings were clear except the venation on the leading edge of the forewings was reddish-orange. Each wing had a small yellow spot bordered in black near the tip. After a few minutes of study, I concluded it was a Saffron-winged Meadowhawk. The Variegated Meadowhawk has a lateral stripe and diamond-shaped patterns on the abdomen but the abdomen of this girl was nearly uniform in color. I regretted leaving my camera at home.
As I walked along the path, I saw a second female of this species, a male Familiar Bluet (damselfly) and a female damselfly that I could not identify. When I got home I confirmed my identification of the dragonfly in my reference book but the female damselfly will remain an enigma.

Oct 4, 2013: American White Pelicans
Approximately 70 American White Pelicans were present at the Park today (before noon). They tended to congregate at the SW corner of the south lake. When flushed, they would circle many times over the Park before landing again. The ones with brown color on the wings are the immatures. 10/4/13 (Wolf. Oesterreich)
