Hunting For Dinner
We saw this Red-tailed Hawk looking for her dinner one day last week. Such a beautiful bird. It was the first hawk we have seen in a couple weeks.

This is a Silver-spotted Skipper. Over the past few years, I have seen a number of them, but I have not captured many good photos. I saw this one on the rocky bank of the Stillwater River. Lucky for me, she did not take off until I captured a couple of photos.

Bees come in many sizes, shapes and colors. This carpenter bee is large compared to the much smaller bee to the left and the one on the flower just below him. Three bees at work, doing their best to polinate. #NatureAtWork

One a recent hike, I took the top photo of an Orange Sulphur. Teresa captured the second photo of a Clouded Sulphur. We frequenly just refer to these as Sulphur Butterflies. There is actaully two other varieties: The Little Yellow and the Cloudless Sulphur. And now you know too. 🦋

I have taken a few photos this year of Eastern Towhee’s, but I have never been able to get close enough to get a great capture.
This time was different. We saw this one in this dead tree (see the second photo). It was a long shot, but I snapped a few photos as we hiked. I was farily certain that it was a towhee, but I wanted to confirm it, so I played some of their common calls using my iPhone. That is when it got interesting. This bird flew right over to us .. and after a few low, fast passes, it landed in a tree right beside me. I shot the 1st photo. Wow, how cool.

NOTE: If you are interested, the app I used to play the bird call is ibirdpro. That is a link to the iOS App Store. Its my favorte tool and I use it most days when I hike and photograph birds. It is a great tool for birders.
