Carolina Sandhills NWR: Dragonflies, Butterflies and a Bird

2026/06/17

June 2026

An amazing day at the Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge. I explored many areas of the refuge in search of dragonflies, butterflies and birds. I took a bunch of photos, sharing some of the best below. I did my best to identify them...
