Now Three

We got 0.26″ of rain last night. Here’s hoping we get more tonight!

At first the antennae was not evident on the Woolly Gray (*Lycia ypsilon*). And no I didn’t know the identity until later. 🙂

What a friendly friend. And now you can see the fantastic plumose antennae!

They had enough and flew a short distance away.

Just for reference here is photo of the colorful cat taken in April 2012.

I have been checking the nest boxes along our fence line. However I failed to look at the box in the yard. So a pair snuck in. LOL.

It was a dreary day, but I managed to get out to the grasslands for a short visit. Stay tuned for that tomorrow. 🙂

I always thought those antennae look like feathers. Interesting about the flightless grasshopper. When i was a kid we had huge flightless grasshoppers everywhere in eastern wise county. I called them jumbos. They disappeared sometime between the 1960’s to the mid 70’s.
