Shield-Winged Insects: Aspen Grove July 2014

http://shieldwinged.blogspot.com/2014/07/aspen-grove-july-2014.html

To Earth's most fascinating, diverse and overlooked creatures. Tuesday, July 29, 2014. Aspen Grove July 2014. We started our day journey on the trail to Stewart Falls, located two miles west of Aspen Grove family camp on the east-facing slopes of Mt. Timpanogos. I was lucky to have even noticed this mostly hidden longhorn; Pseudogaurotina cressoni. Aside from the longhorn, these bumble bee like scarabs were out flying from flower to flower. A flower chafer, Trichiotinus assimilis. July 30, 2014 at 9:06 AM.

Life in the Beaver Hills: Golden Eagle over Elk Island National Park

http://beaverhillslife.blogspot.com/2014/01/golden-eagle-over-elk-island-national.html

Wednesday, January 15, 2014. Golden Eagle over Elk Island National Park. Martha and I took the dog out for some exercise on January 13th in Elk Island National Park and were thrilled to come upon a well-scavenged bison carcass attended by three Coyotes, five Common Ravens. And a dozen or so Black-billed Magpies. Perched about one hundred yards away was this juvenile Golden Eagle. Our first sighting of this species in the park where it's considered to be a rare spring-fall migrant. Ontario Birds and Herps.

Friday, July 25, 2014. Nesting Broad-winged Hawks at Elk Island National Park. Tucked away in a Trembling Aspen along the Elk Island Parkway is this Broad-winged Hawk. Nest, which we first noticed in early June. Today, July 25th, the young are perched on branches adjacent to their nest and appear poised to fledge. Elk Island National Park Canada Alberta.

Life in the Beaver Hills: August 2013

http://beaverhillslife.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html

Friday, August 30, 2013. A brief taste of Grasslands National Park, Saskatchewan. Certainly one of the highlights of the summer was my August 11th overnight stopover in Grasslands National Park. In southernmost Saskatchewan. It was my first stop on an Edmonton-to-Kingston (and back) road adventure. And re-introduced populations of Swift Fox. Were hawking for insects at eye level along the main street. In the late afternoon I drove from Val Marie along the Ecotour Route. A dark phased Swainson's Hawk.

Shield-Winged Insects: About Myself

http://shieldwinged.blogspot.com/p/jon.html

To Earth's most fascinating, diverse and overlooked creatures. Sierra Nevada, California. My name is Jon Quist. I am not an expert taxonomist, blogger, writer and most of all speller by any means, but I can feel myself moving in that direction every day. I love the outdoors, especially non-touristy places where I can go hike, swim, camp and bug collect without having to explain why I'm flipping rocks and peeling bark off of fallen trees. Guadalupe Nipomo Dunes, San Luis Obispo County, coastal California.

To Earth's most fascinating, diverse and overlooked creatures. Saturday, September 28, 2013. Awesome Beetles From an Awesome Sister. Over the past two or three years, as my passion and attention toward entomology has grown, my older Sister, Rebecca Quist, has been ever-so-kind to collect beetles for me on her own outdoor adventures. She studied field biology at Utah State, has spent a year in Randolph, Utah studying the nesting sights for Sage Grouse ( Centrocercus urophasianus. Utah, Rich County. An eas...

Shield-Winged Insects: June 2013

http://shieldwinged.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

To Earth's most fascinating, diverse and overlooked creatures. Thursday, June 27, 2013. First Ten-lined June Beetle of the Year. Truth is that the Cyclocephala is probably the more interesting and local scarab than this this pretty pest, but I have not yet identified the former so I will save those for a later post (They're usually the first and last active in the summer). Monday, June 24, 2013. Vicente Flat 2.) What Dwells on the Forest's Floor. An excellent habitat for unique California ground beetles.

Shield-Winged Insects: March 2013

http://shieldwinged.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

To Earth's most fascinating, diverse and overlooked creatures. Sunday, March 24, 2013. To the park and beyond. Last Sunday I had an awesome picnic with my Aunt, Uncle and Cousin at Cottonwood Park on the borders of Fresno. A couple years ago, this would be the same park that I spent many hours collecting at after school. It never disappointed, either! Going back this time with a camera in the early spring was a real treat too. Pacific Gopher Snake ( Pituophis catenifer catenifer. Sunday, March 17, 2013.
