This is as close as I could get with my camera. We went to the lake to cool off with the family. I was ready to take pictures of the kids, which I was doing, when one of them yelled, "Grandma! There's some geese!" And I'm like, oh yeah...I'm a birder...! Grandkids get just as excited about birding as I do.
It's not a bird...but it still has wings : ) isn't this a beauty. With the help of a Blog I follow, I found out that this butterfly is called a Black Swallowtail. If you're needing butterfly information, check out the link on my sidebar. Thanks to Alan Tilmouth, Northumbria Nature Blog.
My daughter used my camera and got this photo. Another nice day at the beach in Kansas.

Hi,I have no experience with North American Butterflies but it looks like a Swallowtail species, perhaps Giant Swallowtail? Check this link http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/
