Evening

After supper we had a brief rain shower.

The juvenile Cardinal did my rain gauge photo.


The moon rose almost full.
We will have our second full moon in May on the 31st.
A full Blue Flower Moon at my house.



Once the sun is set and the Hummingbirds are at rest
the moths come for nectar.

I have my moth field guide out but I still cannot id these two!

  1. Oh, my. Loopy is horribly afraid of moths. I'm not, but would you mind posting a "spoiler" if you ever publish pictures of spiders???

  2. Hi Q,
    what an amazing selection of wildlife you have, i particually like the Orioles and the Red breasted woodpecker,i wouldn't mind some hummingbirds over here they are beautiful and to have them in your garden must be a treat .

    Cheers Mark

  4. Dear Saucy,
    As you know I do like spiders!
    I am learning to identify all the different moths in my area. So far I have not been very successful. I have a book but there are lots and lots of moths.

  5. Hi Mark,
    In the UK you have so many birds I have never seen too.
    Lots of different butterflies as well.
    I do enjoy the Hummingbirds. They are fascinating to watch.

  6. Hi Mary,
    I am pretty good on the butterflies, the moths are challanging. My field guide does not have ALL the moths in Missouri.
    I think there are thousands!
