dbeadleDescription
Female Yellow-eared Toucanet. Photographed at Rancho Plastico, Darién Province, Panama on 24 February 2019. What a wonderful bird! We got lucky with this obliging individual. Although lacking the yellow auricular streak characteristic of the male this is one superb toucan. Monotypic.

Found on beach by Dan Spach’s Wilderness Youth Project group. Turns out they were not the first to observe it, but at the time it seemed like it. So exciting for all the kids to experience first hand such a unique find!! WYP has said “we’re in the business of creating peak experiences.” This was certainly one of them!

Oblique-lined Tiger Beetle (Cicindela tranquebarica)Observer
chuckslusarczykjrDescription
On a warm February 27, 2018 afternoon, I visited a sandy area where I have known these Tiger Beetles to be in years past, and was surprised to see several of them up and about already. Photographs were obtained of several of them.
The area is in Cleveland Metroparks' Ohio & Erie Canal Reservation in Cuyahoga Heights, Ohio, and accessed via the East 49th St. entrance at Canal Road. High temperature at 12:00PM was 55F, and the low for the 24 hour period was 39F.
