Chill Pearl

We saw a couple Pearl Crescent Butterflies this past week. Frankly it caught me by surprise. The temperature was in the 50s which is a little cold for butterflies. It was sunny but didn't feel like butterfly weather.

Aerobatic Ace Sticks The Landing!

There is more color to this Tree Swallow than I was able to capture in this photo. They are beautiful and so fun to watch fly. They dart around over ponds and rivers while feasting on insects.

Warbling

It took us a long time to locate this Warbling Vireo. She was located near the top of this tree .. a very tough shot. This is the first time I have been able to photograph one this year. I have heard one many times over the last couple weeks, but not pictures. This was a success with a vireo.

Extra Color

We see so many Red-winged Blackbirds but when i asw this one I had to snap a picture. The colors seems brighter than normal. Maybe that is just the season, but it sure was beautiful.

Winging It

After struggling to photograph a Eastern Phoebe for a couple weeks we have seen a few now. This one was taking a break.
