"Fly Like an Eagle!" - Wings straight, not V-shaped like vultures.



Finally, for this quick return to nature, with birds often one finds bees. And so the question...
Two Bees or Not Two Bees?




[Two Bees or Not Two Bees]


It turns out that one is a honey bee, who carefully retreats from the predatory red & black mason wasp.

And that is a taste of 'the greatest hits' of my short visit to nature after a year in captivity myself... like so many of us. I've put this together quickly (with much more I'm still sifting through) to share with YOU, contact-less but with all the warmth of the swamp! Nature awaits. Meanwhile... #StaySafe
