Butterflies for Megan

On a recent birding exposition we saw more butterflies than birds - and I have no idea what most of them are - but I'm sure Megan does. So Megan, these are for you.

I actually took this picture in our back yard. This pretty little guy likes our Bottle Brush bush.

Butterflies are difficult to photograph as they rarely sit still.

I love the way this Long-tailed Skipper blends with the background of dried leaves.

This must be some kind of Swallowtail.

We have lots of Bluebirds here in Florida - and I loved the way this one looked with the bright red berries.

We also have our share of spiders. Bill was giving this big boy (he was HUGE) a closer look.

A Yellow-rumped Warbler - fairly common around here.

This is the first Eastern Towhee I've seen this year. He was off in the distance - but identification is easy with his distinctive markings.
