A puddling Mourning Cloak butterfly (Nymphalis antiopa). Puddling is a behavior where butterflies gather on moist areas that researchers believe is for the purpose of obtaining important nutrients that are missing from their sugar rich nectar diets.

A House Finch (Haemorphous mexicanus) soaks up Arizona’s warm morning sun.
As promised, here is a photo of the Monarch butterfly eggs I collected on June 6. Ignore the quarters, they are there to hold the milkweed leaves flat against the moist paper towel. The eggs are the small white dots between the quarters.
Moved this Queen butterfly caterpillar, yesterday, from the 5 1/5 ounce plastic cup it was raised in from an egg, to a mesh cage in preparation for the chrysalis stage.
Flash: A Monarch butterfly deposited eggs on the milkweed yesterday morning and again in the evening. I collected 17 eggs. Photos coming.
“Nevermore”

Went to the archives for this photo from 2011 to celebrate World Bicycle Day with a short video. Ride it, don`t park it (for too long).
A series of photographs captures the movement of a beautiful Ash-Throated Flycatcher.

I don`t always do backyard photography from a blind, but when I do, I have a cup of dark roast coffee, and the sounds of @ajleebluesummit in the headphones.

A Monarch has visited three evenings in a row. I suspect it is the one i released May 23. It`s nice of him to hang around and create this composition. #monarchbutterflies #backyardphotography #butterflyphotography
