Okay, now that I satisfied the butterfly thread, I have bird pictures, too! You know me, I never said they were good pictures! Rolling on the floor laughing

I was sitting in the Starbucks drive thru the other day when a bird came and landed in an empty parking spot. Of course, I had my camera so I took pictures! Don't worry, the line wasn't moving. I believe this is a Cattle Egret. I've been seeing them a lot more lately. I literally had to let one cross the road yesterday.

Yesterday, I was volunteering at MOSI when I saw two Mockingbirds eating berries off the Firebush. Those birds really don't seem to care if you get pretty close. Although, the one did start singing and I think it was the "Human with camera in area" song.

Then, there was another little bird that joined in. I thought it was one of the Warblers, but I didn't see it doing the tail-flicking thing. It had yellow on its belly. I managed to get some okay pictures when it hopped out of the Firebush.
