Butterfly’s Every Where

 

Sunday we had lots of rain and thunderstorms . April showers bring May flowers , and the birth of hundreds of butterfly’s. They were all over the place when the storms finally stopped and the sun peeked out just a few hours before it was to set !

Northern Flicker

 

It’s rare to see these little guys as they stay deep with in the wooded areas that surround our area but you can always hear their call echo through out and on the odd occasion they  will have a feast off  of our lawn after it has been cut because it some what disturbs the bugs beneath  and makes it for easier pickins . They are very skittish birds . These birds live on small ants and bugs . They burrow their beaks in the grass and their long sticky tongue collects their meal they also eat like this from behind the bark of  the trees , they find a hole in the bark stick their beak in and use their long tongue to gather the bugs !

They also move very fast as they are eating constantly on the move !
