Found in deciduous woodlands on higher areas.

Lucky you Logan! I am sure you will have a great time exploring new areas. I look forward to seeing some of your spottings!
I leave for Belize for two week at the end of semester, then I'm spending the Summer doing research in the Grand Tetons, and next fall I'll be spending the semester in Panama.
Well don't leave me hanging Logan! Can you share those big plans?
Thanks Stephanie! I hope all is well in Illinois. It's been one strange year weather-wise so I'm looking forward to Spring. (My parents got 16 inches of snow just a couple of weeks ago.) But I'm won't be spending too much time in Iowa this year! I've got some big plans! Have a wonderful spring!
Beautiful photos Logan! It looks like spring has arrived in Iowa;-)
