Thank you Rick. :)
:) It's a lovely flower, looking forward to seeing a few more shots!
It might be the Large Beardtongue; both the leaves and flowers appear to match. Beautiful flower!

Thank you Maria. I have moved many and find with the big ones, a towel works really well to avoid being bit. :)
It was and I didn't dare try to pick it up so just herded it like cattle :)
Good observation Rick and you're right. He walked in a somewhat hopping fashion with his rear legs like he was very stiff and arthritic. His feet look a bit swollen too. Thanks, it's sometimes nice to put a little story with the series if it makes sense to. :)
Thanks Rick. He picked a great color flower to nap in!
Very nice! I'll be waiting for the Big Headed one ;)
Rarely see this bird in MN anymore. Great behavioral series!
