There is so much life on our patio. The butterfly is beautiful. The butterfly previous to the photo was a bright yellow. He danced merrily between the cone flowers and other wild flowers. He danced so merrily that I could not capture a photo of him. I'm ok 'cus I saw him. But, I apologize to you.
The house sparrow is a beauty. In my Peterson Field Guide it is noted that these are city sparrow and are usually covered with soot. No soot on this dear one. I have other pictures of him that I will share later. At first I had thought him to be a Chipper Sparrow, but with a close up shot I was better able to identify him.
I think the photo of the cardinal is a figment of my imagination.
The house finches have truly taken root here. Sometimes there are four to seven of them on the one feeder, while three or four wait on the fence or on top of the feeder. Most are babies and the parents are still occasionally feeding them.
If someone comes out of the house, they all fly into the linden tree with a big swoosh. Once in a while I can look deeply into the leaves and see one or two sitting there.
I look out my window, see the birds, twitter with excitement and then tweet. So much better than FaceBook.
