Some Sightings

Walking down Perimeter Road, I flushed out this hawk. He sat for a moment in the tree and then flew off. Is it a Cooper's or a Sharp-shinned?
Can't resist showing you another of these magnificent twelve-spotted skimmers.

Here is another black butterfly that isn't a "black". This is a red-spotted purple.


Black swallowtails have been difficult to see this year. Perhaps it was the wet weather.


It is hard to believe that this same butterfly becomes the White Admiral in the North.



A marvelous pink! I was looking for flowers to make Flower Fun photo cards to sell at the Foulkeways Craft Fair in November.
