In keeping with the #birdoftheday theme, this dark eyed junco was just #hangingaround! It had nested under a nearby bush and when I watered it, it came flying out. Hence the hairy eyeball in my direction!

Lovely tiger longwing butterfly at the butterfly house in Copenhagen. #macromonday #butterflies
Butterfly with long oval wings that are orange near the body and black and white on the outer edges. Tiger longwing seems such an appropriate name!
