Winged Variety Plus Extra Green

If you're tired of seeing butterflies, pretend this is a tiger. Papilio glaucus is the eastern tiger swallowtail.


I saw an egret today but I didn't have my real camera with me and my cell phone does not zoom enough to get a clear picture of him, so this is one of a series that I took on another day. 

The third picture is from a trail cam, which sometimes records a color cast. It is motion activated. Here it caught some black vultures having a get-together.

    Shame you didn't have your real camera Linda. You could have had some cracking shots.

    Good series of flying things...though you caught them all settled for a moment or two.

    Love 'em all. Seeing vultures together in groups is something I don't see often...what I see mostly is a rogue atop a pole or soaring alone.
    Linking in this week, and sharing is much appreciated. Thanks, and happy birding!

    One wonders what the groundhog was thinking.
