Some more cool backyard nature pics
I also like to take nature videos and then find the best moments. That’s how I got the pics of this epic battle.

One of my favorite birds, a Tree Swallow. It and its mate successfully fledged their full brood earlier this Summer.
Back in the Spring a pair of Robbins nested under the overhang of my shed on a light. That's the female and her four babies. I know three successfully fledged, not sure about the fourth. Tricky one to get a good pic of. She was ornery and it was a dark little spot for the nest.
I have a bunch of good ones of her and the male plucking worms that I need to go through.

That one reminds me of this one. It is some kind of katydid, I forget the name.
Those long antennae make it hard to get a really good, clear shot.

It is. I put up Purple Martin gourds and Bluebird houses every year. The Tree Swallows use the Bluebird houses, too.

The one I posted is a Mexican bush katydid.

We also have no idea/comprehension how many eyes are on us once we walk out of our doors.
i totally agree with this...i find that it helps a lot with anxiety as well...i also have a lot more patience (not so much when i'm driving

I've seen a bunch of dragonflies the past few days, but I just don't have many good landing spots for them. When they're around they are feeding, and there isn't much sitting.
ETA: the Purple Martins don't help. Dragonflies are their favorite food.

100% this.
I've been trying to get a decent shot of this one for a while now. It is the red-headed bush cricket, or the handsome trig (because people say it is the "prettiest" cricket). It is fast and skittish. Finally got a decent shot this evening.

wow, you really have a great variety of insects...there's a pond on my property, so i get decent dragonfly traffic...still waiting on the roseate skimmers, they're a favorite of mine...
this year there have been 3 clutches of red bellied woodpeckers in one of the pecan trees, and i've managed to get some good shots of the parents, but i keep missing the fledglings...dissappointing...
