Fantastic pictures and lighting ! Love the light coming thru the wings.

These two had ants in their pants today.
It was really hard to keep up to them.
One left the nest, then shortly thereafter the other left the nest flying in the same direction.
i gave up & went home & there they were together in a tree on my street!
i*ve never seen them there before.
i consider my street nest #9 territory, but i guess not.

Love them looking in the same direction.  We can make up in our minds what they could be looking at... lol

Wonder if they are getting to know you and followed you home?

a not very exuberant poop shot for AJL - november 13 2009 15:03
My first poop shot of the 2010 season! Yay!

[boonibarb]

EMC, they were waiting for me when i got there!
Maybe they were anticipating my moves...

Do you ever have fish heads or something for them also?  You'll have to keep your eyes peeled to see if they do it again.
