Eastern Towhee

Posted By Robert Watters
Another first sighting for me.
I heard an un-familiar bird call, it was a simple call to mimic so I gave it try. Well he flew right in to see who was making all the noise. smile

Huge Catapillar

Posted By Robert Watters
We noticed that one of our tomato plants was stripped to the stalk in about 1-1/2 days. Then we found this big fat ol boy. smile
He was 3" to 3-1/2" long and about as big as a dime around when he was done.

Can anyone ID it?
(I think it is one that turns into a huge moth)

This is the biggest I've seen in a while. Used to feed them grasshoppers when we were kids.

With all the great Hummer shots posted lately I had to give it try. smile My mother-in-law has a window feeder so I snapped this one through the glass from about 18-20".

Mercury Transit

We enjoyed beautiful weather and a generous employer for allowing us to monitor it through-out the day smile . I had the added benefit to snap off a few shots through an AP Traveler and AP 2x barlow with my Canon 30D.

Here's one of them:
