I don't get excited about starlings. This is a Common Starling .. and she is not alone. The tree where we saw her was full of them. The don't travel alone.

Let’s Be Friends
We were walking on the bike trail south of town when a butterfly seemed to attack us. This dude was all over me .. but would not land. I knew right away it was a Hackberry Emperor. Normally they like to land on my arms where they drink up the sweat and salt. This one bumped me a couple times, checked out Teresa and flew away. That happed again a little further down the path. A little later it landed where I captured this photo.

Chillin’ Like A Pro
There is nothing that says summer like a photo of a American Goldfinch chillin' in the sun. This is so beautiful.

Finch In The House

Small & Loud
The Song Sparrow is a small bird .. really small, but buy they can sing so loud. This one was just jumping around but paused just long enough for a good photo op.
