Gray Hairstreak on Antler Horn Milkweed

Gulf Fritillary on Texas Native Lantana

This is the only deer I saw during this visit.

Southern Purple Mint Moth on a tiny Four-nerved Daisy... This guy was tiny. If you broke a candy corn in half, the pointy half would be about his size.

I took a lot of shots of these flower-covered prairies. They are STUNNING in person. Plus, there is no describing the wonderful smell.

I know that these pictures are not the best, but I was really excited to see this Blue Grosbeak in a tree about a football field away. I zoomed in all the way and hoped I got it. I had to really adjust the exposure to get his colors to show up. It won't win any prizes, but your can see him.

Blue Grosbeak

Indian Blankets have to be some of the prettiest wildflowers!

Lesser Goldfinch

Orange-crowned Warbler

You can see his "Orange Crown" better in this shot.

Orange-crowned Warbler after his bath

I am pretty sure this is another Orange-crowned Warbler.

Nashville Warbler

Spotted Towhee

Chipping Sparrow

A very wet Lincoln's Sparrow

This is probably a Nashville Warbler. Something about the eye looks off to me, but may be a result of the bath.

Blue Grosbeak

Chipping Sparrow The little white specks in some of these shots is drizzle.

Nashville Warbler

NO! This beautiful little Warbler is not a Golden-cheeked! This is a Black-throated Green Warbler. I am really sad that the drizzle ruined these shots.

Isn't he cute?

This shot is almost like the one before, but has less rain.

Chipping Sparrows

This is a second Black-throated Green Warbler. You can see the green in this shot.

It may just be the angle, but I don't think this one is as cute.

Lincoln's Sparrow

Chipping Sparrow

Clay-colored Sparrow

This is definitely a Bluebird. Eastern or Western... I can't decide.

Okay... iNat says this one is an Eastern Bluebird. I only saw two, so I guess that's what they are.

Why are teenage boys so ugly? This is a juvenile or molting Sparrow of some kind of another.

Buckeye Butterfuly

Dung Beetle making his poop ball in a fresh pile of horse poop.

With his ball of poop ready, he took off rolling it while standing on his front legs. I followed this particular Dung Beetle because I thought he had a pattern on his shell. When I looked on the computer those white bits were little flies! Super cool!
