A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
I enjoy nature, birding and hiking. I recently took up photography, and I enjoy sharing my photos with whomever wishes to view them.

Sign In to followI always find it interesting when I see a photo of a bird standing near a dock in Florida, and realize I saw one not too long ago standing in some water near a dock in Ohio. It makes me wonder what the odds are that it is the same bird.
Nice shot. They are such strange birds.
I have been a member since the beginning of this year. And thanks for the comments. I appreciate them. : )
He looks like hes got tattoos on his face. Very cool.
Well noted and thank you. I am new at trying to ID butterflies. I am more of a bird guy...lol. I made sure to change the ID to reflect your suggestion.
The sad thing is, about five seconds after taking this photo a fish jumped out of the water and ate him. So goes the circle of life. At least he is forever memorialized on Project Noah.
Thanks Liam. I was a little cautious about the ID, but after looking a little deeper I agree with your suggestion. It looks to me that this is a female of the species. Which accounts for the spot on the wing and the more brownish coloring of the eyes.
