The baby barn swallows are out of the nest and beginning their hunting lessons. They are all lined up on a utility wire and are supposed to be watching as their parents swoop and dive in search of insects.
This particular bunch seems to be more interested in the results of the hunt than they are in the technique. Between visits from Mom and Dad, they fidget and wiggle and seem to spat among themselves. But when a parent heads near, they are all business, raising their wings and opening their beaks wide in hopes of being the one to receive this morsel.

A lone structure anchors the distance, dwarfed by the vastness and light. In this image, the geometry of power lines meets the softness of Arctic dusk — a portrait of isolation, endurance, and the quiet choreography of northern life.
Named for its conspicuous target-shaped eyespots, the common buckeye, Junonia coenia Huber, is one of the most distinctive and readily-identifiable North American butterflies. It inhabits a wide variety of open, sunny landscapes including old fields, roadsides, utility corridors, gardens, parks, yards, fallow agricultural land, scrubs, pine savannas, and weedlots.
