Hey, A Question

Earlier this spring we saw several Eastern Comma Butterflies, but this one is a Question Mark Butterfly. It is to tell the diffference if you don't know what to look for. Its all in the dots on thw open wing. Very cool!

And More Gold …

The American Goldfinch have been super active lately. I love this photo for the color. He was a little far away, but it came out good.

Halloween?

This is a Halloween Pennant. It is a dragonfly, and a skimmer. I love this description from Wikipedia:

The Halloween pennant has been described as looking very similar to a butterfly. Its wings are entirely orange-yellow in color with dark brown bands, the Halloween inspiration for its common name. Dragonflies of its genus perch at the tips of plants, waving in the breeze like pennants. The young has yellow markings, including a stripe on its back. The adult male and female may develop pale red markings, especially on the face. This species is about 38 to 42 millimetres long. It is orange.

Very cool!!

Tigers

I love this Eastern Tiger Swallowtail. We have seen a couple of them this year, but have not been able to capture a good photo. The top photo is really decent, but I had a few issues with the second shot. It's still great. This is a female. She is stunning.

Summer With Chip

This little guy is a Chipping Sparrow. I don't see as many of them, but this one gave me enough time to capture this photo. It is summer and time if going by so fast. I am starting to see signs of fall but we still have several weeks of heat left.
