    Camouflage much?

    No wonder these owls like the ponderosa pines. Just another pic of one of the two juveniles that live on our property. The second picture is it's sibling. It appears to have some sort of problem with it's left eye. Not sure if it's blind in that eye or not.

    Couple of cool finds this evening. I wish I was more comfortable with aperture and shutter settings so I could better compensate for difficult lighting situations. Right now I just leave the camera on "Auto" and hope for the best. Both of these guys were in excess of 75 yards away. I had to zoom all the way in to even see that little hummingbird.

    Cedar Waxwing - Mrs BG is sort of a fledgling birder and ID'd this guy as soon as she saw the picture even though she'd never actually seen one.



    Black-Chinned Hummingbird. Never heard of it. Mrs BG ID'd this one, too.

    Here's a humming bird I saved from a job site last summer. It flew in an opening and ended up battering it's self against a window.

    Our house in Bailey had 18' ceilings with skylights. Hummingbirds would get in and try to get thru the skylights. Many required rescue. Good for you for helping the little guy out.

    A little back story. The other day I came home and my daughter ran up to me with a jar saying something about having caught a LadyBug. Since this is about the 50th Ladybug she's told me about, I didn't pay much attention until I actually looked. She actually had about 20 Ladybugs in the jar, and they were laying eggs. You could actually see them laying eggs directly onto the jar. I thought that was pretty cool. I guess the kids stumbled across a whole nest of them, hatching on a tree in our front yard, and they just stood there and caught them all. Anyway, today she was pointing out another Ladybug laying eggs on our house. There were several other areas full of eggs as well.



    Didn't even notice this spider in the shot.


    I also didn't notice this bug apparently looking to eat eggs.


    Two more. Each different picture of eggs is a different group; there were at least five in the immediate area.

    Didn't realize I had a picture of the first jar. She was watching them all hump each other and telling me that it was apparently Ladybug baby making day.

    That's freakin' awesome! I've never seen lady bug eggs before. I didn't even know they did that.
