Hummingbirds take frequent rests during the day. They don't really sleep, but their heart rate slows down and they may close their eyes #photography #birds

#photography #naturephotography #macrophotograpy The American Lady butterfly is just 2 inches across. But get down to its visual scale, and its complex wing patterns could be cover art for a fantasy novel.

Bumblebee queen approaching Baptisia The large size of this bumblebee identifies her as a queen. Queens are the only ones that survive the winter. At this time of year they're out gathering food they'll use to start their new colonies. #photography #insectphotography #bees #pollinators

Big wings that can span 6 feet are bringing the Blue Herons up from Central America to their rookery in Minnesota. #photography #birds #naturephotography

The Blue Herons are back in Minnesota - but so are the Cormorants. They share rookeries but there is conflict over nesting spots. #photography #birds #naturephotography

Three Canadians #photography #birds Yes, this is a composite. Sometimes I like to see what's possible and improve my post processing techniques. I like the way this turned out - the slightly surreal/vintage look is intentional.
