I found this monarch flitting from bush to bush along the street.
I haven’t seen many #butterflies at all since winter hit, and figured the #monarch migration had long since passed further south, but I found this one flitting from bush to bush along the street.

Say’s Phoebe: Saw this birb on a suburban bike path…
Saw this #birb on a suburban bike path today. Some kind of Phoebe, apparently https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/37541271
Red-Tailed Hawk (on transmission tower, early Jan.)
And this hawk(?) is definitely *not* a birb…but I saw it on the same bike path in the middle of the suburbs. It landed on a transmission tower and looked around for a few minutes before flying off. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/37541270 #birds #nature

Hawkspotting on K2R
This solitary hawk(?) landed in the scaffolding of a transmission tower above a suburban bike path, and stayed there, looking around, while I walked closer to it. After a few minutes, it flew off to another tower.
I’m sure it’s storage or irrigation equipment, but I like to imagine an Escher-like entrance to some underground realm. #doorway
