We are seeing a few more butterflies but less than normal for this time of year. This Pearl Crescent Butterfly was one of a few on this day aa couple weeks ago.

On Duty .. But Not Alone
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.

Summer Dove
During the spring I tend to see fewer Mourning Doves but this one almost asked me to take her photo.

Back In Blue
We have been looking for an Indigo Bunting for a few days. Yesterday I was happy to photograph this one. I heard many more on our hike but could not find one. We kike 2.5 miles and I lost count of how many we heard. They are beautiful.
