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.
This little guy looks itchy! He’s pulling the skin that he’s shed off his legs.
These babies are filling up that little nest! If they get much bigger, they’ll fall out!
