Not having spent much time in Florida in recent decades, I can't remember if butterflies are common in the winter or not. Viceroy and Sage might be able to tell us.

They will be around the entire year if the weather holds up. I still have many floating around, and even saw eggs on my parsley and dill. Though they are a lot fewer they are still here.

Nice 'n' close!
![]() Is that first one a killdeer? I've always been fond of them. What is the second one?

Not sure about the origin of the name (it is an odd one), maybe one of the avian aficionados will chime in on both accounts.

One of my favorite birds too! I don't know the origin of the name, either, maybe derivation of the cry the bird makes... The old timers around here call them "killdee". Back in 1994, the younger pre-president George Bush was on a dove hunting trip and killed a killdeer instead. He was fined $130 (instead of the usual $500) and was the subject of jokes for a while for not being able to distinguish a killdeer from a dove. Alas, a precedent was born!
