Eastern Meadowlark (Sturnella magna magna) Winter plumage.

Eastern Bluebird (Sialia sialis sialis) male. Looking proud of itself after finally making that other persistent male in the mirror go away, even though it had to revert to some unethical tactics. However, disappointed that it showed back up in the drivers side window (lol).

Eastern Meadowlark (Sturnella magna magna) Nonbreeding plumage.

Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (Papilio glaucus: Papilionidae) female, dark phase. It is interesting that only the female has a dark phase. She is working on elegant zinnia. Wingspan: 8.9-14.0 cm (3.5-5.5 in). Brazos County Arboretum, Bryan, Texas, USA.

Seems I will be more sporadic at my posting for a few weeks. I am still recovering from my heart problems and doing well at this time. Jane had an old hernia rupture and has to have that repaired with a 8 week recovery. I will still check in and post when possible. I will keep Mali updated...

Eastern Bluebird (Sialia sialis sialis) Juvenile. A surprise to me to see bluebirds this young, this time of year.

.....for the year.

There were hundreds of White Ibis at Herdsman lake yesterday morning but I only saw one lonely Egret.

....the children have fledged. Just gotta teach them to fend for themselves.

Haven't seen many this year.

.....but the little one keep everyone busy.
