This Red-bellied Woodpecker was molting. It is harder to tell in this photo, but she will grow back vibrant, beautiful colors soon.

She’s A Painted Lady
It’s been a while since I last photographed a Painted Lady Butterfly. Though this one has weathered some damage, she remains absolutely beautiful.
Teresa took this photo with her phone. Good photo.

Agile Bird
I have always been fascinated by the White-breasted Nuthatch. I love watching these agile birds creep headfirst down tree trunks, probing the bark for insects. Their compact, almost neckless appearance and unique upside-down foraging habits make them truly remarkable.

In The House
Wow, a House Finch! I certainly didn't expect to see him today. I really love the vibrant colors of his plumage.

A Moment with a Beautiful Bird
The morning dove is absolutely gorgeous. This beautiful bird gave me time to capture this photo as she perched gracefully on the branch, looking truly amazing.
