Robin’s Robins

Did you ever eat upside-down? Me neither!

Here a pair of Familiar Bluet Damselflies are laying their eggs, or oviposition. I understand that he hangs on to her until the eggs are laid. This ensures that the eggs fertilized by him are laid.
I didn't realize until I downloaded this shot, that they were actually sitting on a feather in the water.
Aside: I spotted a Pileated Woodpecker yesterday afternoon. It was to shy to let me get into position for a shot. A great life sighting!

Although capable of taking care of itself, this juvenile House Sparrow is taking advantage of Mum's maternal instinct, and getting some free lunch.

This is my first Butterfly of the year. They are all proving to be quite elusive.
This Tiger Swallowtail was being harried by a Cabbage White, and only sat for a moment. Luckily I was there for that moment.

Here's a series of Heron shots. We went on an outing to the shore, hoping to see some shorebirds. No luck in that department, but there were a few Great Blue Herons around.

Here's a cute little guy, who is a different than everyone else. This is a House Finch that is orange instead of red. He seems to be proud of his difference.
I understand that the colour difference is caused by diet. They can range from yellow through red to orange. Something I didn't know until seeing this little guy.

A Flame Skimmer Dragonfly.
