		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s ask the Cuckoo bird!

During one of my last kayak outings, I had another Yellow-billed Cuckoo (Coccyzus americanus) fly in and land in an overhead branch. These birds, although not often seen, are really an interesting bird to be able to watch. In fact, when this cuckoo flew in, he was flying very erratically. I then [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During one of my recent trips to the Prairie Meadow, I had an unusual encounter. To get to the meadow, I must first follow an uphill trail from the parking lot and through an open area, then through a wooded area that leads to the entrance to the meadow. While walking on the trail in the woods, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The other morning, when I first entered the Prairie Meadow, I came upon this lovely Black Swallowtail butterfly (Papilio polyxenes) hanging on to a prairie grass stem. He seemed to be &#8220;frozen&#8221; to the grass. And my stumbling around in the low light (this image was taken just before sunrise) didn&#8217;t seem to distract him, even when [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I meandered around the Prairie Meadow the other day, I came across this Monarch Butterfly caterpillar (Danaus plexippus) feeding on a Common Milkweed plant. As I moved in close and watched it, it was literally having a feeding frenzy on a milkweed leaf. As I watched it, I was reminded of the great transformation [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I&#8217;m featuring another visitor I found at the Prairie Meadow the other day. As I was leaving the meadow, This large Tiger Swallowtail (Pterourus glaucus) flew in and fluttered about the thistles that are currently blooming. I just love seeing/photographing these beauties &#8230; so large and so colorful!

		<description><![CDATA[While photographing birds in the prairie meadow the other day, I was joined by a large, beautiful Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus). He landed on a nearby thistle and grazed the flower for nectar for several minutes. When he was done, he lifted off and fluttered above the meadow, likely searching for another flower to feed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my quest to get some images of the birds in the prairie meadow, the most common one I&#8217;ve found is the American Goldfinch (Carduelis tristis). The Goldfinches can be found all over the meadow, but most can be found near a large area of sunflowers, which is the major wildflower in bloom at this time. They will often [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While in the prairie meadow the last couple of mornings, while waiting for the prairie birds to become active, I played around with some sunrise and early morning landscape shots by using my 500mm, f/4 telephoto lens. Not your common setup for this type of work, but I just love how this large lens compresses the [...]]]></description>

Not that I don&#8217;t enjoy photographing with it, it&#8217;s just [...]]]></description>

As I was finishing my leisurely walk around the perimeter of the meadow, I saw a little movement out of the corner of my eye. Fortunately, there was not much in this area [...]]]></description>
