These photos show the same Osprey using the camera lens to zoom in and get an up close encounter. Can you find the Osprey in the first photo? That's… (Nextdoor 19th Ave / 60th Street) - The blues were out and about at Bear Creek Park.
These butterflies have blue on the top side of their wings and a totally different pattern on the underside of their wings. Cool stuff. 1/7/26 (Nextdoor 19th Ave / 60th Street)
