Lazuli Bunting - Wings on Wed.

I knew that the Lazuli Bunting is listed as being within our area range, but I had never spotted them and envied those who actually got a photo. So I was more than happy that this beautiful bird decided to stop by and enjoy food at the feeder :)

NOT Cotton Candy - Look Closely



We were on a nature hike with our grandsons over the weekend at Granite Mountain when we came upon this strange sight. Look closely at the top left - the pod  was writhing with worm-like insects, which I have found out from fellow bloggers are "tent caterpillars" Needless to say this was a very cool catch for the boys!    A fun day :)

Willow Flycatcher  - Prescott Nat'l Forest

First time I have ever seen this bird in the forest - maybe due to migration.
He didn't hang around too long so I was glad to get the pic.

P.S.    catch the "do"  :)
