 Painted Lady. Overcast, before the rain.
Birds flitting furtively, butterflies
on the trail.
Three warblers showed up together.
Flyovers by Osprey and Herring Gull.
 Least Flycatcher. I most enjoyed
my time attempting to photograph
a vocal Least Flycatcher—
other, of course, then my time
at play with my companion.
