Cedar Waxwing peeping out at us
Crows having a discussion
My little friend, the willow flycatcher
Just color me tickled pink. There are a lot of birds around that I am not getting identified so I don't think the count will stay at fifty very long.

Wish you could have seen the fireflies the night before last. It was just after dark when I went out on the porch, just to listen and enjoy the fine, gentle breeze. There they were in their hundreds sparkling everywhere you cared to look. When we were kids we simply had to catch all we could and put them in jars with holes punched in the top by some obliging adult. Now it is enough just to see them.

I'm loving the lightning bugs too. They're one thing that seems to surprise me with their annual arrival before I start to look for them. They're just magic, aren't they?
I LOVE seeing the selection of birds.
Fireflys: had one in my car as I was driving home at 1am the other night, he was sitting on my ceiling just out of normal range of vision flashing....talk about distracting!
50! Keep goin'!!
And yes . . fireflies (lightning bugs in Ohio) . . one of the loveliest memories of childhood.
I miss lightning bugs ... don't have 'em up here. :(
You brought back some memories with the color me pink quote! Good for you on the fifty.
We don't have fireflies here, I wish we did, I loved them when we would go to Texas when I was a child!

June, funny thing, it is the same with me. They catch me all unsuspecting every summer and are all the more delightful because of it.
Ruth, thanks! I can imagine that it must have been quite a distraction indeed! Morse code in the car
Cathy, I am trying! It was pretty windy yesterday so I didn't see much although I got some blurry shots of a cedar waxwing fighting with a piece of string.
Rev. Paul, wow, that is a shame. I can hardly imagine not having them.
Lisa, thanks!
Linda, aw, that's too bad. I kind of take them for granted on one hand and on the other they are one of life's little delights.
