Common Buckeye butterfly on Butterfly Bush. June 23, 2022. Hopefully, this will be one of a few Buckeye photos this year. Their colors tend to be different in the fall. Nature's camouflage at work as they adapt to their surroundings.

When the ice recedes just a few meters from the shoreline of the lake here at my favorite local park lake, the male Common Goldeneyes come in from the nearby Saskatchewan River to claim their bit of open water to attract the females and fight off rivals.
This male was swimming close to a female, and went to this typical courtship pose when another male flew in nearby. The brown mass under his foot are the rump and tail feathers he twisted around while doing this.
I hope to get shots of the often spectacular battles between the males before things get sorted out.

I've been trying to shoot butterflies this year in more of a scene than getting them so close-up.
I hope everyone enjoys this image! :D

Two pictures uploaded today...
1) A (rare) Rosy Starling perched on some iron work (i,e. you can't miss)
2) A Common Tern in a fast action freeze
The Tern was x1000 more tricky to take
The Rosy 1,000,000/1 chance to find in your back garden
So 'the rare' or 'the spectacular'?
Photographically of course it's the spectacular., but in a year's time it'll be the rare you'll remember
Although this bird has 'Common' as part of it's name, it's not common for me, in fact, it's another new bird for me!
I captured this Common Gallinule while visiting Guajome Lake Regional Park. While surveying the numerous coots and other birds responding to being fed by park visitors, I spied this single individual close to some reeds in the lake. I managed to capture some images of it just before an American Coot decided it was too close and swam over and chased it away.
