One of the many Tree Swallows.

Great Blue Heron

Double-crested Cormorants on the Chesapeake Bay.

How many snakes do you see? It is a warm sunny day so all the snakes, frogs and turtles were out enjoying the sunshine.

I am sharing some more of my backyard birds, butterflies and critters. Most of the photos were take during the month of August.

A young Gray Catbird, I was taking photos of my Trumpet vine flowers when this bird suddenly appeared. Perfect timing for my photo.

A pair of Chipping Sparrows, they have been my most common bird along with the Cardinal this summer.

A Painted Lady butterfly

A Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher lives in the woods next to our house. Sometimes it comes over to our bushes and trees looking for bugs to eat.

A bunny on the deck steps. The morning glory plant is going great this year, it is covering our fence and starting to take over.

A pair of House Wrens. It was raining in this photo, if you look closely you can see the raindrops.

A Ruby-throated Hummingbird sitting on a buddleia leaf.

Spicebush Swallowtail butterfly on buddleia.

My hummers loved this Lantana plant and flowers.

Great Spangled Butterflies.

Another Spicebush or Pipevine Swallowtail.

Cedar Waxwing, a couple of them landed in our dead weeping cherry tree. We left the dead tree standing just for the birds, they seem to like perching in this tree.

A large bullfrog by our little pond.

Various butterflies seen in my yard this in August.
