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 :)
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 :)
