Miscellaneus Shots 2011 - No. 3

Nice, the Cardinal woke me at 4:05 am today singing like crazy, and the baby robin was in the elderberry bush 10' from my bedroom window this morning. They made sure I was awake. ☺

- Always like the Bluejays, as long as they decide to build a nest on my neighbors property, that way I don't get attacked when they guard their young!

Beautiful wedding photos, Jen! Blue jays are noisy, but they keep the feeders interesting!

Got this one today, not sure if butterfly or moth. Took it with my long lens first just in case it was skittish, then I tried getting closer with a long macro and just as I took my first step toward it, - it flew away.

The very deep orange made it stand out big time, ~ about 3" across...

ohh, pretty guy

Pretty!

Looks like a Question Mark.....

nice catch WC!!... my guess is they don't nest close by WC.. never had a problem with getting attacked.. but then again.. they usually hawk me when I go to fill the peanut feeder.... some will come as close as 5 feet.. because they know I will toss one over to them while I fill

That's good, - that's a 'friendly fly-by', if they were out to peck you they'd get a lot closer than that!
They're fearless! lol!

wife took this picture one of four - will have to show her the differences when you have some composition to the shot - willow in the foreground right

Ohh Wow! you found it! - and it's called a question mark! LOL!!!
- Thanks, this is too cool! ☺!!

(- I thought you were kidding Robindog! lol!!)

Thought she meant she did not know. Duh!

Yeah! lol!!

LOL

One of my fave musical group names is Question Mark & the Mysterions!

I thought Marilyn was making a joke. Sorry, Marilyn!

LOL.....no, I'm always curious about the nomenclature of anything flying....birds or butterflies! Bill, that's a lovely photo....should be framed....

Thanks, and thanks also for the ID as well, - next time maybe, when I get a sharper image. I was lucky I got this one at all. I recognize it now with the pics of the older butterflies, the pattern changes with age.. I never knew it's name. The very young one in Jen's link is nice with the blue edging, that would be a rare shot!

I got suckered in also with the ? mark.

Cool!

Very pleasant... soothing music too, nice asst of birds! Hummingbird feeder must be busy also, I presume.. ☺

yeah I just moved the camera over to see if the new one will be triggered by the hummers.. the old one .. no go

do you change the water/sugar once a week?

I go to a lot of auction and have seen some strange stuff but this takes the cake.

Gee Whiz

The female cardinal looked a little huffy, there! Yes, Sherrie, weird things....what's that from Alcatraz?

Ball & Chain, Shackles

Victor may like that...

When MIL is visiting?

oopsie ~ thought this moth was neat looking.

It is....have no idea what it is if it's a moth......if it's a butterfly, might be a checkered white, but they are rare in the east.....

Its yellow not bright, I think the pic is close.
