Birds, Flowers, Butterflies

I haven’t been seeing anything too exciting. The weather has been windy and not good for trail cams. When the wind blows hard, movement of vegetation and shadows triggers the camera and I get hundreds of videos/photos with nothing in them. Now it looks like a couple of days of rain. I went back to Baldwin Spring one morning and got more nice bird photos. A walk in Hell Canyon was good for butterflies.

The Death Camas has all gone to seed, now the most abundant flower in my meadow is the Mariposa Lily. Thousands of them are in bloom now.
I think this is a Northwestern Fritillary. According to my butterfly guide, it is right on the edge of its range in the Black Hills.

Just a robin, but I really like this photo.
