Butterflies and Birds:

A beautiful Eastern Comma rests on a sunny tree.  There were 3 butterflies and many flies taking advantage of the warmth.

Wings closed on another Eastern Comma 

exposes the white "comma" on the underwing.

A Black-capped Chickadee enjoys the fruit on Staghorn Sumac.

Time for a break!

A Golden-crowned Kinglet sat preening for 6 minutes while I photographed it! Unbelievable!(I confirmed the duration by checking the time on the first and last photo.)

She took the time to sing me a song!
