I really can't say much about the beauty of this male Cardinal. This one felt like a gift. So very beautiful. Thank you.

I really love the Hackberry Emperor. They are not as colorfull as some butterfly, but they are just fun. They are rarely seen on flowers which is not a commong trait for butterflies. This one was on the side of this tree.

I was ready this time. We were looking for Eagles, but there it was .. a Great Egret. I missed the shot last time but I was ready ...
A little note about the Egret:
... generally long-legged wading birds, that have white or buff plumage, developing fine plumes (usually milky white) during the breeding season. Egrets are not a biologically distinct group from herons and have the same build. (wikipedia)

During the summer we usually start the day with a hike on the bike trail somewehere close to home. We like to get Cooper out while it is cool. He does not deal with the heat well. The older dog does not like to hike so she usually stays home. We have been hiking a specific route along the river more often lately becase we see a Bald Eagle there most morings, if we are early enough.
The 1st photo was taken just after sunrise on a beautiful moring last week. A few days later I guess we were too early for even the sun. It was the same location just pre-sunrise.

I am alwyas surprised when and where I see Killdeer. I don't usually see them in the middle of a river, but that is where we found this one. All alone, in the middle of the river. A real surprise .. to me.
