This American Goldfinch seemed to enjoy the pine seeds. Cute.

Love this Eastern Wood Pewee. They sing a beautiful tune too.

I have been watching and photographing these Wood Duck for seveal weeks. They have been holding out at the Overlook Pond at Stillwater Prairie Reserve. They don't seem to like me taking photos of them so I continued to try. They are gone now.
I don't think I have ever seen a duck move as quickly across the surface of a pond as fast as the one in this top photo. I guess I totally freaked her out.
I didn't see any adult males when taking photos of these wood ducks. Only the female and her young.

I believe I have established the fact that I have many favorite birds and they I refer to many different species as my 'favorite'. Well, the Indigo Bunting is one of my favorites.
I believe these are two different birds. Teresa photograped the bottom photo about 15 minutes before I saw the one on the top. We were a quarter of a mile further along the trail. The blues just blow me away. Did I mention this is my favorite bird? It is today anway.

Two photos .. two viceroy butterflies. What captured my attention was the condition of the butterflies. The first one appears to be in great health. The colors are vibrant, and the wings look perfect. The second one looks like it has had better days. The wings are worn and it just looks tried and like life has become a signficant struggle.
I am not sure of the age of either butterfly. I believe that even as we age, we can feel and look younger if we eat right and get enough exercise, even if that is just walking and moving every day. I am going to leave it at that .. take care of your health. No one else is going to do it for you. Eat enough protein, get some movement every day and enjoy life.
