New Life Bird...

Golden-winged Warbler....new life bird.

Did some birding this afternoon with some friends...one new life bird made my day.

First we heard it's buzzy "zee bee bee bee"

Then the search was on. 5 minutes later we found the little guy singing from the lower branch of a pear tree. We all tried getting photos, but it flew deeper into the bush. We seen 58 species this afternoon...it was a great afternoon. Here are a  few images from today...

 Syrphid Fly

 Flower Spider

Flesh Fly

No Photos Today!

Windy is the only thing I can say about today.

We lost power for a few hours and limbs down everywhere.

So I worked on my images today until we lost power.

Here are a couple spider images...this same Golden-rod Crab Spider found a great spot to get it's meals. I watched this same spider for 4 days and it never ran out of prey. Flies, moths, bees lost there lives to this spider. I really enjoy spiders and watching them can be exciting. They are not always easy to find and sometimes I have to wait for them to move. My favorite spider that can be found in my garden is this spider that you see enjoying a good meal.
