PHOTOS OF THE WEEK
THE NATURE OF LATE JULY/EARLY AUGUST

A Black Swallowtail uses its hose-like proboscis to siphon nectar from a Purple Coneflower.


This juvenile Ruby-throated Hummingbird is about to plunge into a Trumpet Vine flower for nectar.


The plunge is on.


Monarchs lay their eggs only on Milkweeds, but they drink nectar from many flowers, including this White Coneflower. 


My small garden pond attracts many birds during hot weather. Here, a Mourning Dove enjoys a bath.


Soft landing by a juvenile Red-bellied Woodpecker.


Showy Asters in our perennial bed attract a thirsty Tiger Swallowtail.


All these sunflower seeds create a turf battle between a Red-bellied Woodpecker and Blue Jay. The woodpecker holds its own.
