A great butterfly to spot that day was a Viereck’s Skipper, which I’ve only rarely seen and which posed quite nicely for a photograph. Viereck’s Skipper (Atrytonopsis vierecki). The showiest of the birds, however, was the Snowy Egret, all done up in dramatic breeding plumage. Palmer’s Metalmark (Apodemia palmeri). But weren’t having any luck finding that Small Checkered-Skipper un...

And only in the last couple of weeks have we been seeing Taxiles Skippers, that to my eye closely resembles any number of other skippers from the top. Taxiles Skipper (Poanes taxiles). The picture above is of a female, which is perhaps a bit more distinctive underneath with that lavender wash. Female Taxiles Skipper (Poanes taxiles). Russet Skipperling (Piruna pirus).

Nature photography, birds, butterflies and travel. A Few New Visitors. July 29, 2015.

First up was the one that seems to show up earliest every year and is quite common all over town, the Black-chinned Hummingbird. Banded Hairstreak (Satyrium calanus). Colorado Hairstreak (Hypaurotis crysalus). Rounding ou...

From Burgh to Burque. The adventures of a yinzer in New Mexico. Who What Where Why and How. 2013 Field Guide Challenge Results.
