Finally, the temps are dropping into the 70's during the day here in the NE US, slowing down the nastier than usual mosquito population. Found the arrowhead and paint pot in an eroding slope near the beach. The figurine with my Nox 900 a bit inland.

People have commented on my natural encounters so I include a beautiful male Luna Moth resting on a large oak tree. Surprised to see as they usually appear in Spring, but there can be two to three generations per year. I'm guessing the wingspan exceeds 4" and I believe this is our largest moth species.

More nice digs! Luna moths and box turtles are added bonuses to any hunt.

Well I look at all 3 and think all are top shelf keepers. Congrats on the point, pot, and the Rooster.
The Luna Moth is a real beauty,

I agree that all three are fantastic finds.

Any chance the "Rooster" could be a partridge or some other fowl?
