This little guy looks like he just got out of the nest. Isn’t he cute??

Anole Sex

I was going out the back door the other day when I spotted these two Green Anoles engaged in propagation of the species. 
They stayed in this position for nearly 20 minutes – certainly long enough to have been eaten if some Anole eating critter had come along. Two for the price of one even!
From my research, their color indicates they are happy – seeing how bright it is, they must be VERY happy!
Summer Tanager

This is a newcomer to our yard – a Summer Tanager. It summers in the Southern United States and winters in South America. It’s a bee and wasp eater! YEAH! We certainly have plenty of wasps around here! It is welcome to as many as it can eat. A very pretty bird and seemed to have quite a personality – I guess if you take on wasps, you develop a ‘tude. I wish I could have gotten a clearer picture – this was taken through my office window that, once again, needs to be cleaned.

This is an adult 5 banded skink. When young, they are an iridescent blue color. They are rather shy, so getting this shot was lucky.

I occasionally see hawks perching on power lines as I drive through the country and this morning I had my camera with me for once. I spotted this guy and he stuck around long enough for me to get some decent photos of him. He’s a young Broad Wing Hawk.
