Young Wood Duck

We saw two very young Wood Ducks but I only captured one decent photo. I am guessing these two were born this year. Life is dangerous for such young ducks.

Looking Big

I was able to get a very good photo of this Field Sparrow. The zoom makes her look really large, but this is not a large bird.

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.
