Interesting behaviour. These Hoopoes were chattering and displaying while the same time feeding their nestlings in hole of a tree. The green wood hoopoe is a cooperative breeder and common resident in most of sub-Saharan Africa. It is found in groups of up to a dozen or so birds with only one breeding pair. The breeding female lays two to four blue eggs in a natural tree hole or old barbet nest and incubates them for about 18 days. On hatching, she and the nestlings are fed by the rest of the group, even after they have fledged and left the nest hole. The group is fearless in defence of the nestlings against intruders.
My first sighting of a Green Hairstreak butterfly (I suppose I hadn't been looking!). 2nd, 3rd & 4th followed soon afterwards!

Some people had some problems with the face and I agreed the eyes and mouth were too low. I think it looks a lot better now

Die Grünfinken sind die "vorsichtigsten" Vögel in meinem Garten. Es hat mehrere Monate gedauert bis sie nicht mehr sofort geflüchtet sind sobald sie mich entdecken und so konnte ich endlich dieses Männchen fotografieren. Gross bewegen darf ich mich aber noch immer nicht. Für diese Aufnahme habe ich mich eine dreiviertel Stunde in den Schatten gesetzt und gewartet.

The Green Finches are the most cautious birds in my garden. It took some months till they did not took flight the moment they spotted me and I could take this photograph eventually. I must not move too much though. Hence I sat down in the shade for about three quarters of an hour and waited for the finch to drop by.

A gentle stroll on the summer trail at the WWT Welney gave me this late green veined white butterfly
(Matelea reticulata). Texas Hill Country.
See my blog for more on a recent trip to the Texas Hill Country.
Juvenile green woodpecker.
Very pleased with this one, for they are one of the shyest birds we have in the Netherlands.

Green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again

More gray skies yesterday, but I was happy to have a relatively close encounter with a green heron, a species I've seen only a handful of times in CT, usually partially hidden near the water's edge. This one (a juvenile I think) was running around in the middle of a pond on top of the lily pads.
Delighted to discover a natives nursery within an hour of my house, I went to go check it out back in July. I do live out in the woods and so have come across many wonderful local plants, but was nevertheless curious as to what they would have. I found a wonderful selection of plants, some of which I see plenty of where I'm at and out and around, but others that I haven't seen, and some that I was unsuccessful at transplanting, so it was nice to be able to buy one already growing well.
I was doubly delighted when I came upon this pretty spider not far into my exploration there, munching on a hapless pollinator. This was only the 7th Green Lynx I've seen, and I was glad I had my camera in the car, which then stayed with me for the rest of my nursery exploration. This is the only one I've found in TN, but I'm glad to know they're here and hope to run across more. The bees do not agree with me.
