Back Yard Events

This mocking bird was pecking on the window calling me out to the back yard it seemed. I decided to oblige him. It's amazing what type of back yard events I find happening in such a short amount of time.

On the front driveway I discovered this caterpillar slowly ambling along looking for greenery. I had him crawl up on a piece of paper and carried him off to the woods. I have no idea what type he'll be, do you? Now that I've rescued him I think he might be a cutworm, it was kind of gross looking.

I heard a noise above me and looked up to see a pair of bald eagles flying overhead. Before I could get my camera up to take a photo they were already a long way off.

The pineapple sage is blooming and I hadn't even noticed till today.

The lemon balm is thriving too.

I almost walked headlong into this two feet wide suspended spider web.

There was also another spider creating a zigzag pattern in it's web. I think Meredith of Whynot Pottery had a spider web like this one too. She and Mark are having their 30 year pottery anniversary event next weekend and are busy preparing for that. Check their blog for details if you can make it to Seagrove, North Carolina area.

I still have no idea what this tubular flower is, anyone have any suggestions? I'm converting my blog lists to a snippet instead of a list.
