I don`t remember if I noticed this before when I`m photographing butterflies.Some of the tiger swallowtails have a big band of blue on them,some don`t.So,in my inquiring state of mind of late,I go searching for why.Well,the males only have a small amt.of blue on them,so that`s the difference between the male & female swallowtail butterfly.
This year the robins have raised quite a few babies.The birds who live here in the woods seem to have formed an alliance together against the hawk.I have not been able to catch a pic of him,but I know when he`s around.The bluejays,robins,crows,even the smaller titmouse gather together ,noisily surrounding him,flying at him,pestering him till he leaves.I go with camera in hand to only catch the tail end of him exiting & flying off.Maybe he should start making a meal out of all the rabbits we have here instead.
