About a month ago I considered myself lucky when I happened to spot and photograph a tiny Eastern Amberwing female dragonfly. This week I went back to the same restored prairie, to the same area, and noticed a male flitting about. He stopped just long enough to snap off a few shots. (With the male it is easy to see where the common name comes from.)
I've reposted the female in the comments below.

The scientific name Tyrannus means “tyrant, despot, or king,” referring to the aggression kingbirds exhibit with each other and with other species. When defending their nests they will attack much larger predators like hawks, crows, and squirrels. They have been known to knock unsuspecting Blue Jays out of trees.
During the summer the Eastern Kingbird eats mostly flying insects and maintains a breeding territory that it defends vigorously against all other kingbirds. In the winter along the Amazon, however, it has a completely different lifestyle: it travels in flocks and eats fruit.

I noticed that the apparent mother of Aubrey, the rabbit that grew up under my deck, visited him virtually every day when he was young but seemingly earning his own living eating grass. I always thought that the young ones were on their own when they left their siblings and began eating grass.
However, I have noticed that the above mother has been nursing its young bunny in my yard this week despite the fact that the bunny is also eating grass. It is likely that Aubrey's mother was nursing him at this age too, when she visited him regularly. Does this mean that the moms visit all their surviving young throughout the neighbourhood at this stage? If so, that must be hard to manage.
My first encounter with an Eastern Coyote! A close encounter at that!
At first I thought this was someone's dog, and that it's owner would be coming up behind them, so I went back to butterfly watching by the pond I had been camped at for 20 or so minutes. Something nudged me nearly a minute later and I had the thought that this was no ordinary dog...and there it was a minute later, watching me.
What a beautiful encounter! I hope I come across another soon on my walks!

This is one Eastern imperial eagle out of four that live in my country.
Once upon a time there were a lot of them, and now we are struggling to preserve the remaining ones.
I'm so happy that this eagle was flying just above me today and I had time to take a picture of it.
Have a great day and thank you for visiting!

The Virus chased me out of Florida early this year! My hope is that good health follows all of us ... and that those touched recover quickly
