Hummingbirds

This is a female Broad-tailed Hummingbird. We stopped at this roadside stop at the north end of Logan Canyon. It was a beautiful drive and the river runs alongside the road all the way. I didn't expect to photograph a hummingbird but there was a lot of them.

Gold .. As In Goldfinch

I was looking at this American Goldfinch but my mind quickly moved to noticing the falling leaves. The Buckeye trees are starting to drop their leaves already. Boo.

Oh, last observation ... look at the fly on his eyelid.

Where Is Mom

One day early this week we saw three fawns. Two of them were at one location, the other a few miles away at a second location. In both cases there was no mom .. MIA mom.

Duskywing and Horace Who?

This is a Horace's Duskywing. It is a species of skipper butterfly. I don't think I have ever photographed one before.
