Though green-tinted, this butterfly is a Great White! I wonder if it has a reputation for devouring humans.

The bright yellow wings with the red flower and green leaves I think makes for a good composition!

A small butterfly with some striking wings!

Run, run, run! It’s a common ground dove! Watch it skitter across the sand!

Another tiny anole!

A camouflaged little lizard!

The mockingbird sits high upon its perch—a raised stage from which it sings to all who would hear its song.

A very silly waterbird noted for its neck and face. Unfortunately, I do not have any photos of it in its iconic poses.

I spotted a bunch of these all on one walk, and some were even chasing bugs! How exciting!

Saw this guy dart through the brush early on in a walk and missed him, but then saw him at the end in nearly the same spot!

A very distinctive woodpecker with a bright red patch and unique coloration/pattern! This one was foraging on the ground instead of on a tree!

A lone bee clinging to a dandelion on a cold day!

With its chestnut cap and black eyeliner, the chipping sparrow is looking cute!

The former iconic sparrow of North America.

The tiniest tennis ball bird. I've seen them darting around now and again but caught a couple pictures when they took a break on a branch!

Putting the close-up capabilities of this lens to the test! I'm pretty happy with the detail on its fur given the short amount of time I spent taking pictures!

This whole session was shots of opportunity, but this tree swallow photographed from the window of a moving car is perhaps the most egregious of all I took that day.

Barely got a picture before this one flew out of sight to not be seen again for the rest of the walk. I wish it was a better picture, but I'll take what I can get!

Flyin' fast and flyin' low, I didn't have a lot of time to wait for a really clear shot. I saw a handful of these darting around.

A very long-distance shot, so pretty blurry, but I'm still glad I was able to capture that distinctive appearance! Lucky!
