it looks like this Red Admiral Butterfly as taken some damage, I love the colors of the Red Admiral but sadly this one has lost a lot of her wings.

Focused On Lunch
We sure enjoyed watching this Great Blue Heron. He was in one of the ponds at .. several mornings recently. Most days we see him catch a fish. He totally ignores us when he is focused on lunch.

There Is Always A First
This sure looks like a Horned Lark. If it is, it's a young male. I guess I am going with this .. a Horned Lark. This is the first time I have photographed a Horned Lark.

Seriously, Large Butterfly
Check out this Giant Swallowtail. It certainly stands out. From the link above:
"Average Wingspan: Males range from 15-19 cm (5.8-7.4 in), and females from 14-18 cm (5.5-6.9 in), underscoring their status as North America’s largest butterflies."
That is a small bird. Wow.

International Rabbit Day?
It must have been international rabbit day .. everwhere we turned there was another rabbit. Reminded me of younger days and Bugs Bunny .. lots of memories.
