Hummingbird Moth and Friend

I
caught the Hummingbird Moth
and
friend on a Thistle at Strawberry Plains Audubon Center in Holly
Springs at the Hummingbird Festival this year. The Hummingbird team with Mr Sargent
banded 281 Ruby Throat Hummers and all I got was photos of thistles
wildflowers and insects. Behind the beautiful Post Bellum house is
a small courtyard that swarms with hummers this time of year. As
something of an insider I got to stand in the midst of what was
almost a low level din with dozens and dozens of them buzzing
around and at me. I am proud to say I left the courtyard unscathed
with nary a bruise or bird poop on me. Kudos to Kristin Lamberson
and all who do all the hard work.
