These are from last year but I never got an ID on them. I want to label all my pictures for reference. Thanks for any help.

wow lucky you. 2 at one time. Did you get to see them with their wings open???
No Donna, I sat there most of the night and of course they were gone in the morning. I do believe it was a happy couple!!
here is a link to my pic. If you look to the upper right you will see a next button. I have several views of it. The only time I ever saw one.
