I went fishing on the Salmon River in Pulaski, NY. I didn't have any success with the salmon run (it was a bit early), but I was delighted to see a giant swallowtail nectaring along the river. That was a real surprise, so far north.

A cute slimy salamander that I found under some firewood. Slimy salamanders are common, locally, but secretive and not often seen.

Got my little rescue butterfly all set up for the night in his own little tent! (Repurposed cat carrier) I don't think I should put him outside. Tried earlier and saw a bird eyeballing him so I had to bring him back in. His wings are shot so I guess...

This is the bill of Blue Marlin which was stuck through the bottom of a boat . They didn't catch the fish but he wanted the bill and the bottom mounted . The boat bottom is a little thicker than 1 1/2 "

I'm moving my sleeves tonight, in preparation for vacation. I think this has been my best year for polyphemus caterpillars in a long time. Here are a few shots of some of "the gang". I'm sleeving them on scarlet oak and they are doing beautifully!...

This probably doesn't look that impressive to anybody outside of the UK, but trust me, around these parts this is a massive spider (Eratigena atrica I believe). Can of Monster for reference.
