Taking a Break

We have been taking photos of butterflies almost daily. Bird activity has been slower, and beauty of the butterflies has captured our attention and our cameras.

Teresa captured this photo. If you zoom in, there is some great detail.

A Cardinal Squat

And then he was gone. This squatting motion did not last long, but it preceded a quick takeoff. It’s still a beautiful Northern Cardinal.

Who’s There?

Another one of my favorites is the Red-bellied Woodpecker. We saw this one a couple weeks ago at Glen Helen Nature Preserve. He was all over this tree, and it took a while to get a good photo.

Free Flying

public.jpeg

As we drove into the Nature Preserve parking lot, we saw this Broad-winged Hawk making her entry as well. She parked in a tree across the field, where I was able to capture a couple photos. The best photo may be this one, as she grew nervous about our cameras and took flight to a more secure, and hidden location.

We have not been out to make a video for a few days. Teresa sprained her knee, and I have been getting in some extra biking with one of my sons. I hope we can get out sometime this week.

Back to Finch Watching

I saw this little guy just over my head while hiking. He did not stick around long, but as you can see, it was long enough for me to capture a photo.

There is something very cool about a Goldfinch. It’s that combination of colors, their energy, and very interesting flight path. They are a fun bird to watch.
