One of my favourite finds this week was Cream Violet (Viola striata). This is a fairly uncommon species in Ontario, but can be abundant in the right places.
False Rue-anemone (Enemion biternatum) is another species that is rare in Ontario. It is fairly plentiful in this location in the right spots. It is getting a bit late for flowers.
Another neat sighting was a large number of Shorthead Redhorses in a local creek.
A saw a couple neat Sedges (Carex spp) as well.

| Hairy Sedge (Carex hirtifolia) |
 |
| Nerveless Woodland Sedge (Carex leptonervia) |
 |
| Eastern Woodland Sedge (Carex blanda) |
Large White Trilliums (Trillium grandiflorum) are at different stages. They petals turn pink as the plant ages.
Flies have been offering a bit of entertainment.
 |
| Oblique Stripetail (Allograpta obliqua) |
 |
| Margined Calligrapher (Toxomerus marginatus) |
 |
| Phantom Crane Fly (Bittacomorpha clavipes) |
I saw my first Eastern Forktails of the season today.
One last cool sighting was this Blackpoll. Somehow, I have been unable to get a photo of this species up until this point. I believe it is the 300th species I have been able to photograph in Ontario, not too bad I guess!
