Flying Critters

It can be fun and challenging to take pictures of birds, as I have learned since I tried my luck to catch them with my camera over the past few weeks. Spotting them requires patience and a keen eye, and most of the time I just fumble with the camera and find that they've flown away.

However, I do have a few successful shots, and here are some of them.

This is (probably) an Australasian pipit in a field. I call him "Skippy".

This may not be a bird, but it's still a little flying creature. I found this butterfly in my yard today, resting on a branch. According to my friend Michelle, it is a Delia hyparete (Painted Jezebel).
