Birds, Butterflies and More Birds!

Today I have birds and butterflies.

The butterflies are slowly coming out here, but it has been so wet and cold they are late. Above we have Sara Orange-Tip.  You can also spell it like this Sara orangetip or call it Pacific Orangetip. These are my macro shots.

Then we have the Pale Swallowtail and the Anise Swallowtail and a little European Skipper.  I have not seen these out yet so these are from last year.

Above is Sunny!  Well that is the pet Snipe that lived here for a while a few years ago!  I adored him/her.  It was like  having a pet in the backyard.  Then there is a Snow Goose flying and there is a Fox Sparrow and a Spotted Sandpiper.

These photos are all of the Sora from last year at a pond nearby.  Most unusual Sora as he was not annoyed by people.

Then we have a  Song Sparrow and a Field Sparrow and a Fox Sparrow.  All the birds today begin with the letter  "s".

Here is a Spotted Towhee and a Spruce Grouse and A Steller's Jay and a Stilt!  Below are some shorebirds that flew in as well. 

 

Also two pictures of Sheringham Point Lighthouse from my past archives.  It used to be closed to the public. I was behind a fence trying to get these shots. Now I think you can go there and see it. They will be developing it into a park also I think I saw somewhere.


It has been a busy week!  With the migratory birds coming in we are out birding a lot and I will just do a blog once a week unless I have time to do one on the weekend.  There have been a few super bad computer scams this week.

Computer Senior Tip:  My Rant of the Day!
Please remember if you get a pop up from Microsoft saying you have a virus and you must call a number to fix it.  Please Please do not call the number it is all a scam.  Microsoft will never send you a pop up or a warning or freeze your computer.  Just hit Ctrl, Shift and esc.  You can see the Task Manager and End Task for whatever they have frozen. You can also just turn off or unplug the computer. They will say on the pop up or the frozen page "Do not unplug your computer". But that is just the scam. There are so many computer scams now.  Don't open a zip file on your emails either or open any of those scam emails from people you don't know. That is my senior rant of the day.  I try to check and recheck any links that I put in here on my blog.  I am asking those who comment not to put any links in at all.
