More questions than answers today. Another cool and drizzly morning this morning and my camera display went gray so I wasn't sure what I was getting. Thankfully, many pictures turned out okay. Caught this egret enjoying a breakfast.
I also found this rather striking insect. Although I have looked through countless insect/butterfly/moth pictures on the internet, as yet, I have been unable to identify it. If you have some clues on where to look / what it might be / how to go about identifying ... please help! The wings folded down to a double layer like a skipper, but his head and body are not large like a skipper would normally be.
There was an elderly gentleman there this morning. He was re-attaching one of the birdhouses that had fallen in the recent rains. He has placed about a half dozen bird houses in that park and keeps them up. Special thanks to this man ... who ever he is.
Hope you enjoyed!
