A Different Cat

I have heard Gray Catbirds for several weeks but have not been able to get a decent photo. This one is not great due to the lighting but it is a Gray Catbird.

Butterfly Test

When I saw this butterfly I thought it was another Pearl Crecent. I have tried to identify this using an app and looking at photos of cool butterflies. I think it is a Silvery Checkerspot .. but I'm not sure. Maybe I am 95% sure.

It is beautiful.

Grounded

I do not wear my glasses when we hike. In fact, the eye doc told me my vision was improving and I find taht I don't wear them other than to drive. When we were hiking I saw this bird on the hiking trail. I sure thought it was a Robin. So I guess my eye improvements are not soo good.

As it turns out, the bird was a beautiful Northern Flicker. The angle was not great, but very cool.

Wood Thrush

This is a Wood Thrush. It looks a lot like the Brown Thrasher I shared a few days ago. This bird has the most amazing song. Here is a vidoe of one doing it's thing.

(Teresa took the bottom photo. I love the lighting. I shot the 1st photo.)

So cool.

Out For A Walk

It has been a while since we captured a good photo of a Great Blue Heron. I almost missed this one too.
