I haven't been doing much with my butterfly yard, I seen lots of frits, a few swallow tails, some hackberries, and sulphurs. I haven't had the luck with pictures when I'm home. I had to save a baby wren from my rain barrel today, got him out, gently dried him, coaxed him onto a branch just below his nest. All under the watchful eyes of his parents. after about 30 minutes he was dry enough to flit from branch to branch back to his parents.
Sweet story
I have House Wrens that nest here annually
Dad can be quite chatty when I approach their little nest.
Soon I have half a dozen little birds darting thru the branches.
Look at all of them! Beautiful.
That ain't the half of them!!
Most were just too fast.
At one point, there were 3 Red Spotted Purples, a Question Mark, a Hackberry Emperor and a Red Admiral on the feeder at once.
What a pic that could have made!!
But by the time I got downstairs, everyone was gone
