We encountered another Hackberry Emperor but this one landed on Teresa. This is the behavior we have seen in the past. Fun hike and fun watching this guy.

Feathered, Fabulous And Bold
We did not expect to see this Yellow Warbler but I am glad we did. Many would confuse this bird with a goldfinch but this is a yellow warbler. The finch has more deep black.

Floating Through Life
These are Hooded Merganser. There were setting on a rock when I first saw them. They quickly jumped in the water and moved further away form my location.

Leg Day Incoming?
I have been trying to capture a photo of a Killdeer for weeks. I see them along the road side every day but they just don't want to be photographed. Those legs .. haha. He needs to stop skippig leg day in the gym.

Dramatic Flair
THis is a Spring Azure butterfly. We see a lot of them this time of year but they are not easy to photograph. They are very small (about the size of a dime) and always on the move.
