Finally …

We saw our first Monarch Butterfly of the season this week. I didn't expect to see three, and maybe even four on the same day. This is very late in the season to see them. Its odd but we have not seen many of viceroy butterflies either.

A Pair of Pearls

This photo of a pari of Pearl Crescent butterflies is good, but it really was more amazing in real life. They were slowly opening and closing their wings and a form of dance. It was beautiful.

Chickadee

There is no question on this one .. it's a Carolina Chickadee. They are so small and never give me much time to focus, but this was a great photo. At least in my opinion.

Red-Head

For several months we have been starting our day by stopping at Garbry Big Woods Sanctuary and Garbry Big Woods Reserve to feed the birds .. well, leave some bird feed. Most days we are rewarded by a few birds that greet us.

This one got me super excited .. a beautiful Red-headed Woodpecker. Very cool.

Bunting

The lighting fo this photo was not great. I was able to improve it in post editing so it turned out good. We have ot seen as many Indigo Bunting this year. I was super excited to see this one. We could hear hom long before we located him.
