Both the birds and birders were down this week. (Migration?) The winds did not help, especially with the little birds. I got more photos of flowers and butterflies than birds! The highlight, for me, was the full-adult slate-gray male Snail Kite (but he was too far away to get a photo).
Apropos my statement about flowers and butterflies, today's photo is of a Water Lily in full bloom. You can check out more photos for March & April at the link below.
