Vermillion Flycatcher @ Prado Regional Park

Vermillion Flycatcher @ Prado Regional Park. Shot one back in the winter (scroll down) and it was a thrill. This one was no less a thrill. Gave me three shots, this one is the best.

Rerelease: The Last Man

I've decided to rerelease my first book of poems, The Last Man. If you didn't get a chance to purchase it a millennium ago (2012), well, it's back in print @ Amazon. And the Kindle eBook will soon follow.

Best,

R L Swihart

Nesting Killdeer

 Nesting Killdeer @ San Joaquin M & W. #1.) Mom takes some time to stretch her legs; #2.) Mom never strays far from the nest (Can you spot the speckled eggs behind her and to the right?); #3.) Here are the four eggs with magic, not chocolate, inside.
