Author Message   Starzgarden  Posted on Wednesday, September 19, 2007 - 08:34 am EST :    Last evening this pretty fellow flew into the yard,darted around for a bit then settled comfortably into the lilacs. He was very cooperative about being photographed and was still clinging to the branch when darkness came. I haven't tried to identify him but I am sure someone will recognize who he is.
