Eastern Tiger SwallowtailMy son captured this picture for me at the Chaplin Nature Center. This beautiful piece of earth is located just a few miles from town.
House Finch NestI was so pleased and excited when I took the Boston Fern down to water it and found this Finch nest with a little speckled egg in it. The nest is about 3" across and the egg a little over 1/2" long.
This is the fern I was talking about. It sat out the Winter inside and was looking like a pretty sorry plant.
Another view of the nest to give perspective.
