While I am in this working-like-crazy-holiday-madness lull on my blog, I would love to put out an RFI to anyone familiar with butterfly species: I have been slowly getting these onto flickr, and there are some that I have not identified. I have locations and dates for each sighting, and though I have not yet gotten them written into the descriptions, that info is available. The butterfly set is viewable here.

It is awfully nasty out today, and I have just frittered away some few hours by putting together a way to show some of the photos from the last five years of travels… click here to go to my flickr page… another work in progress.

From a small, not-really-birding, walk around Prospect Park, Brooklyn:

Great Blue Heron (1, juvenile)
Mallard
American Black Duck (4)
Bufflehead (1)
Ruddy Duck (1)
Red-tailed Hawk (2)
Tufted Titmouse
White-breasted Nuthatch
White-throated Sparrow
Fox Sparrow (2)

And yet another landscape I have been working on: 7 x 5,” pen on grey paper.
