About the length and diameter of the first two bones in your little finger, a tiny Snowberry Clearwing Moth backs out of a Bee Balm floret after sampling its sweet nectar. These creatures are amazing as they go about their business with stealth and precision. And... they fly FAST.
A look back after a new snow dump and removal for most of the day, sick of snow, so a visit to the lake in autumn with a final light. Hope you enjoy and happy Sunday!
Although I wasn't in Mexico with the intention of making a lot of bird photographs, I saw some nice species that I didn't know before.
And although I missed my Sony A4 camera, the A65 with a 200 mm lens and 2x converter helped me from time to time to make a decent picture of the birds around.
On one of my last days I saw this rufous-backed thrush, clearly belonging to the robin family, with a wonderful feather pattern.
The Isola San Giorgio Maggiore has always intrigued me. It is definitely one of the iconic sights to see in Venice. The island has been occupied since 829 and the church, with its bell tower, was built in 1566. This was taken one morning as the sun began to rise over the beautiful historic city!!
I continue to be busy trying to lend support to a Presidential candidate here in the USA and getting ready for a new trip to India. Southern India will be my destination this time. I miss my daily contact with every one, but probably won't be back on schedule until sometime in March! I continue to appreciate your support and encouragement!!!

Icterus chrysater
(Yellow-backed Oriole / Turpial Montañero)
The Yellow-backed Oriole is well-named, as it is one of the very few species of orioles with a yellow back. Indeed, this oriole shows only two colors, yellow and black: the wings are entirely black, the feathers lacking the white or yellow feather margins that are shown by most other species of oriole.
The Yellow-backed Oriole has an oddly discontinuous distribution: it occurs from southern Mexico south to northeastern Nicaragua, and again from Panama south to northern Colombia and Venezuela, but is absent from Costa Rica and from most of Nicaragua. This oriole has a very broad elevational range, ranging up to 2500 m in Central America and almost to 2700 m in Colombia.

This was a grain storage facility for Budweiser back in the day. I caught it just as a storm was moving in, and loved the silhouette. I also really liked the reflection of sunlight in the windows.
A male Eastern Bluebird with a spider in his beak, looks back to see if it safe before flying over to the Bluebird box to feed his young. The male and female take turns feeding.
