I have been chasing swallowtail butterflies around for a few weeks but seems they don't welcome a photo. Maybe they are just shy 😱.

I was finaly successful .. I photographed this female Black Swallowtail a few days ago. Beautiful. Be sure to click the link .. I found this to be a very informative source.

We have fequently photographed flycatchers on our many hikes but this week I was surprised to see this Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. Making meals from flies seems like an interesting challenge, but now we are talking gnats? Cool bird.

On our last visit we saw seveal. Enjoy the photos of these beautiful creatures.

Swallow Feeding Frenzy

I believe this is a Northern Rough-winged Swallow. I love how the swallows go crazy when they are eating their dinner. They fly around so fast. I swear sometimes they come within inches of my head.
