Ya caught me!

This is a small warbler that is a subspecies of the yellow-rumped warbler. It spends spring breeding in Canada and northeastern United States. In the winter, it migrates to southeastern United States and Central America. Myrtle warblers eat insects and wax-myrtle berries. It can be so hard to catch a picture of this little bird because it just doesn’t stop flitting about.

The Green Heron is something to behold. What a wild looking bird. Green herons are seasonally monogamous and they do not eat meals together. This lone bird drops food on the surface of water to bait fish, making it one of few birds known to use tools. The oldest recorded green heron was 8 years old.

Pretty Pink Poppy!

Poppies are beautiful flowers that come in many different colors. They produce seeds that can be used medicinally (opium/morphine) and also edible seeds (poppy seeds).
