I have spent the entire spring and summer trying to photograph a Yellowthroat. I could hear them mocking me while we were hiking, but they are absolute ninjas at hiding. This was a rare sighting of a young one in a tree. Yes, a Common Yellowthroat—finally caught in the act! (This is a female)

It’s been quite some time since I last captured an Eastern Wood-Pewee through my lens. What a thrill it was to spot this little beauty again!

We embarked on a magical butterfly trek with the Miami County Parks District this week, and holy smokes, was it a scorcher! Fortunately, the trail offered a few pockets of shade, though I still ended up sweating like a snowman in a sauna. Along the way, we crossed paths with a few monarch butterflies . What an absolutely stunning butterfly!

They aren't my favorite birds, but hey, he was there, I had a camera, and neither of us had anything better to do.

We have not seen many Pearl Crescent butterflies this year. It was excited to see this one and capture a few photos. Yes, they are small but wow, they are beautiful.
