Our final stop of the day
was Canal Lands park in Zoar. As soon as we got onto the trail, we saw huge flocks of Red-wing Blackbirds flying from tree to tree. I was able to get a few good shots of them flying across the Tuscarwas River, and the red on the wings really stands out to make for a great photo. We saw more butterflies, and some interesting bugs in the canal, that turned out to be Water Striders. Most of the water in the canal here was dried up like it was in Clinton. We wonder where all the fish, frogs and turtles have gone. Spent some time on the awesome truss bridge over the towpath. I like to photograph the trail from above throughout the seasons and marvel at the changes throughout the year. Can't wait to come back here when the leaves have changed.
Interesting note: We photographed both a Question Mark Butterfly and a Comma Butterfly today. Never knew butterflies were so punctuation-conscious! (There are also "dash" butterflies)
