Flower??Posted By Jeff Hapeman |
Robert,
This would be a spiderwort, specifically it appears to the be the eastern spiderwort, Tradescantia virginiana. Very nice picutre of one, too. I find they can be difficult to photograph; this shot has great depth of field.

Wilson's PhalaropePosted By Jeff Hapeman |
Really nice, Cal, and you are right. The phalaropes are one of the only groups of birds that are polyandrous. The females have multiple male mates and leave the males to raise the young.

Norwegian ThistlePosted By Jeff Hapeman |
Very nice picture, John, I like the composition. However, that appears to be a species of Fireweed (Epilobium) in seed. They are very beautiful in flower and common in the northern hemisphere--but I never realized how attractive they could be when in seed.

Another DragonflyPosted By Jeff Hapeman |
Cal,
That is most likely the Twelve-spotted Skimmer, Libellula pulchella, either a female or an immature male. Note that there are three spots per wing, for a total of twelve.
Very observant that you noticed that the wing spots weren't quote right!
Very beautiful picture, BTW. I think I am going to have to start trying my hand at dragonfly photography.

Jose,
Really nice. The old B&W films were really remarkable for details. That is a wonderful shot.

White-crowned SparrowPosted By Jeff Hapeman |
Ty,
Great shot! That is one of my all-time favorite sparrows. They pass through here in the spring, but I don't see them every year, and missed them this year.
Thanks for sharing

Cedar WaxwingPosted By Jeff Hapeman |
Nice shot, Ty. I tried to catch a waxwing this week, but it was too dark to get a good shutter speed.
Hopefully I will get another chance.

VulturesPosted By Jeff Hapeman |
Nice shot, but I would hate to be the person who tagged that vulture. I have seen it...they vomit up vile rotten flesh when cornered or captured. Very smelly!
