Becky, Catbird is up and around. Hasn't had her post-surgery check-up but dosn't seem to be anything to worry about. Only problem is the pain killers keep her too sleepy. Thanks for the prayers and concern.

Attached is a photo taken this morning. The little fellow has taken quite a liking to me. Has landed on my head several times in the past. Today I put my hand up to the top of my head and it hopped on. Took a couple of shots then it hopped on my camera. Then back to my hand and finally over to a nearby butterfly bush. It has taken up residence at my back yard gate.

I have searched all of my books and the closest I can come to an ID is "female Clouded Skipper". It is plain on the underside.
