The only bird that came close to cooperating with my photographic intentions was a Common Grackle that I managed to get out of focus. Even though I saw quite a few birds I have no images to prove it. One thing to note – I saw my first Dark-eyed Junco of the season today. As far as images to post – I have a Painted Lady butterfly featured. I’m closing with what my Google searching seems to indicate is a Desert Caterpillar. At least I got these shots in focus.
