I’m not sure what my cat, Trouble, is trying to convey on this warm Sunday afternoon. Maybe he wants some more catnip.

The bright yellow feathers of the Yellow Warbler catches your eye but it is hard to photo this little bird as it hops around quickly looking for bugs. The females are less colorful and lack the chestnut stripes that the males have. But this warbler better watch where it lands in the tall grass as some have been caught in the strands of an orb weaver spider’s web.

More butterflies have been spotted as the spring flowers have opened. A Tiger Swallowtail was visiting my lilacs that were just starting to open before taking a rest break on the pine tree. The larger female is more colorful than the male as it has more blue spots on its wing.
