Hot summer evening bike ride

Being an administrator of this site does not make me an expert on birds, or to know how common or rare they are. I just looked at a photo of a Great Blue Heron and that is the bird we saw.

Actually, our administrator was given the alebazdunku ceremony yesterday along the Oswego River. Not for a deed of valour, or meritorius conduct, but because of his ability to shrug it off when Chris told him he forgot the pasta salad. We celebrated this event by sticking the feather of a Accipiter cooperii or Buteo jamaicensis (in the heat, we forget which) into his hair.
Our administrator is now known as a man of ugaba. If trouble begins to create turmoil among the PBX tribe, he will reinstate peace and order.

I can't believe the Rare Bird Bot failed to pick that one up and submit it. Drats! Back to the drawing board.
Rob from work and resumed our summer bicycle rides tonight. We returned to the Repaupo area when my relatives live, rode through Gibbstown, and visited the flood gates along the Delaware. On the way back we ran into a home owner who may be a relative of mine and he told us he had a chicken with a broken neck. He just walked out into the road and told us this. So we stopped and I took these.
On the way across the bridge at Exit 14 on 295 I took this Then And Now photo. The first one is about 1978 and the second one is today after they moved the bridge to straighten the road and extend the on and off ramps. My grandparents house was under a portion of the present bridge.
Notice tonights storm coming in the bottom photo.

We just resumed them yesterday. For various reasons we have been having problems getting together for this so I am never certain when we are going. We have decided that this area is where we will continue to go if we do since it is a 15 minute ride down 295 to get there. Riding where we live is a joke.

All,
It's been a long day and I am tired. Rob and I rode 15 miles tonight visiting the Bridgeport Ferry area again and a few other locations. I will write more tomorrow night. However, in the interim here are a few things to ponder. Do you have any idea what this bug is? It runs with it's head down and it's back up. It was really fast so out of the 20 photo's I took these are the best.
And you might find this "Then And Now" interesting. The first photo shows my mom in the front most likely around 1929 or so, with her sisters behind her, and the woman in the back and the boy being relatives. The house was my moms parents at the time.
Rob checking the same location over tonight about 80 years later.

The common names for this insect includes Cow Killer and Red Velvet Ant, but did you know that this isn’t an ant at all? Nope, it’s not — it’s a wasp. And they don’t really kill cows! Here’s a link from the University of Nebraska so you can read all about them. That is, if you’re interested.
Good thing we did not touch it.

The man who stopped Rob and I on our bikes and showed us the chicken with the briken neck in the first post.
