Winged Wednesday 1/27/2021

[Eric Gofreed]

My contributions for today's Winged Wednesday are some photos from my yard

This is yellow-umped warbler more accurately it is an an Audubon's warbler. Although genetically distinct, there is no plan to split Yellow-rumped warbler in to 3 or more species. In the USA we have Myrtle and Audubon's warblers and in Central America there is Goldman's and a few others. However, they are still called yellow-rumped warblers.

Every Week you post a great series, Eric.

 

[Douglas Sherman]

I am going to change it up a bit and post some butterflies.

Red Mormon Butterfly.

Costa Rica Clearwing.

Common Blue Morpho

Beautiful wings so far and types of butterflies I did not know even existed.

My contribution for the day are some grazing geese. Farmers in my neck of the woods dislike Canada Geese since they tend to lurk around in very large gatherings and can almost strip a pasture before they move on to someone else's fields.

Eric, thanks so much for starting this thread and what a great batch of images to start.

My contribution for this week.

We have a lot here in New England, especially in the fall when they gather before migrating.

beautiful photo, Alan
When you see geese flying in a V, one side is always longer than the other. Do you know why that is?
That side has more geese.
