don’t know butterflies but they are easier to photograph

great day at the refuge.  still not seeing any bobcats. 

We have 2 known Great Horned Owl nests on the refuge.  this is Number 2:

at the photo blind a very fat squirrel and an Altamira Oriole

we began this project our first week here in Dec.  we are finally getting water in Bobcat Pond!!

  

the water was turned on at about 2:00 pm on Tuesday.  hopefully it stays on all night. this is actually a leaky pipe but they decided to take advantage of the leak and make a pond next to this road.

Wednesday we got to the Bobcat pond early, it is filling up!

we diverted the water a bit more.  came back in the afternoon, it was really filling up pretty good, but we had a flat tire and had to rush back to the yard.  did not get a picture!

thinking that this is a moth and not a butterfly..

A wonderful week, only two left!  where has the time gone.
