Black Swallowtail

I found another tree with blossoms.. I think it's a Bradford Pear tree. It's stinky, but the insects love it.

I saw three different kinds of swallowtails. They like the top of the tree. This is a Black Swallowtail.

I saw my first Zebra Swallowtail. I got a pic of it, but it was headless. LOL! I'm going to go back tomorrow.

While I was waitiing around for butterflies, I got a pic of a new bird for me. I'm posting it in my other album.

Thank you so much for your kind comments on yesterday's pic!!! :0)
