Three Bs

Tomorrow morning I set out on part two of the trip (the journey back) so I'm leaving you with a few birds and butterflies and a bunny from Maryland, in no particular order

A calling redwing silhouetted against the afternoon sky


A juvenile cardinal, scruffy from molting into his adult plumage


A male grackle seeking shade


A male tiger swallowtail on a mimosa




A mockingbird doing the walk-and-flash-his-wings thing


A different male redwing in a willow


A bunny with a white star on his face

Two fiery skippers

A spicebush swallowtail on a thistle



The younger family of geese (the older ones have already left)

A song sparrow and an eastern kingbird share a tree

A pair of yellow-shafted flickers hunting through the landscape cover
