Observations on Nature and Home Life in a Minnesota Suburb
While photographing Monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) on Easter Purple Coneflowers (Echinacea purpurea), a Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) came by to feed.
On a recent cool morning, I had the good luck of finding a bumblebee (Bombus spp.) resting on a Prairie Corepsis (Coreopsis palmata) flower.
