Flowers And Things

Why? Well, a) they're relatively easy to photo, as they rarely fly off and b) I've yet to find anything else to put on here...

What can you do?

While I'm keeping on keeping on looking for things and stuff, I come across assorted pretty flowers, and of course the fungus season is just starting to warm up a bit, so, well, what is a Backward Birder to do?

Coming soon, only on Backward Birding....

The Backward Birder gets busy with the butterflies. As the Patch swelters under blazing sunshine - 28° in the shade - that time of year comes around again. So we see our intrepid hero defying the Sun's wrath - and the hordes of grockles - to try to find and maybe even count some butterflies. What will he see? Find out on the next exciting post of      Backward Birding!

Well, it is Big Butterfly Count weekend.

Be Seeing You...
