‘I may be small, but my concert is sold out’

I love the tail of the Song Sparrow. It's not exactly true but I think their tale is unique for sparrows. I mean some other sparrows ave it but I love how it looks.

She looks like she is performing. Indeed, her song was beautiful.

Blending in?

I guess this Blue Jay was tring to blend in or just find something to eat. With those bright colors blending in is not really an option. He was also having a little spat with a pair of woodpeckers.

Flawless Feathers

There was a two Eastern Kingbird but I only photographed this one. This is a beautiful bird .. I guess I say that a lot. Then I say it some more.

Monarch .. At Last

I was getting a little concerned that we had not seen a Monarch butterfly yet this year. I may have seen one in our yard but was not able to get close enough to confirm it was not a viceroy. This was got me all excited. I love Monarch Butterflies.
