The local bike trail has a couple of these bushes along the road... took a few pix while no one was around.
It was extremely windy. But the smell was wonderful.
The Common button bush's (Cephalanthus occidentalis) blossoms matured in the last week and the butterflies, skippers, and bees are having a hay day. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower center lists lots of alternate names: Common Buttonbush, Buttonbush, Button Willow, Honey Bells, Honeybells, Honey Balls, Honeyballs, and Button bush. These two blossoms seemed to meld together and the bee was sampling both. I believe this is a Common eastern bumble bee (Bombus impatiens) although they look very similar to Carpenter bees.
These birds are ground-dwelling & endemic to Australia. They make a high-pitched wailing noise, mainly at night which is quite eerie. As they are nocturnal birds it can be unusual to see them during the day.
It is nice to be able to see reflecting waters after a long winter of frozen lakes, Bush Lake, Bloomington, MN on 5-23-23.
We were out to a friends house taking photos of the bluebonnets. This was the first time I used my new lens, Tamron 24-70 f/2.8.
Walking along a frost covered hedgerow, I came across this view of the sun flickering through, which gace the impression that the bush was on fire!

During my recent visit to Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari I also came across a flock of kaka. I tried to get some sort of an action shot. This is the best I could manage that day. It conveys some motion due to low-ish shutter speed. I wasn't sure whether to post this but I like the image so here goes! Despite the sunny weather, down on the forest floor in the shade it is still pretty dark. Hence a low-ish shutterspeed, widest aperture as possible and high iso.
Generally heard before they are seen, kaka are large, forest-dwelling parrots that are found on all three main islands of New Zealand and on several offshore islands. Much reduced in range and abundance in the North and South islands due to forest clearance and predation by introduced mammals, kaka are most abundant on offshore islands that have no introduced mammals, or at least no stoats. They remain locally common at some sites on the main islands that are close to offshore island refuges, and have increased in abundance at others where mammalian pests have been controlled.

This is part of the set A cold winter forenoon I took on a clear and wonderful winter day outside Lund in Skåne. It had snowed heavily the day before which made the snowy landscape nicely untouched and together with hard rime on trees and bushes created a real ‘winter wonderland’. These old dried out flower bushes came alive with all the hard rime on them.

El clorospingo cejiblanco o frutero copetón (Chlorospingus pileatus) es una especie de ave paseriforme de la familia Thraupidae endémica de Costa Rica y Panamá.
La tangara arbustiva con capa de hollín (Chlorospingus pileatus) es un pequeño ave paseriforme tradicionalmente ubicada en la familia Thraupidae, pero ahora se ve más cerca de Arremonops
en Passerellidae. Esta ave es un criador endémico residente en las tierras altas de Costa Rica y el oeste de Panamá.
Tangara pequeña y rechoncha, oliva opaco arriba con la mejilla y la corona negruzcas, garganta blancuzca y ceja blanca. Pico grueso. Sexos iguales. En general, muy similar a Common Chlorospingus, pero esa especie sólo tiene una mancha blanca detrás del ojo, no una larga ceja. Usualmente se encuentra en elevaciones más altas que Common Chlorospingus, pero hay algo de traslape. Ocurre en bosques y bordes. Busca pequeños grupos ruidosos que se mueven a través del sotobosque, a menudo con bandadas de especies mixtas.
