That's a nifty critter, Lou! I've no idea if they live around here, but I've sure never seen one.

I spent the morning at a local butterfly garden, which is maintained by our Audubon chapter. Lots of critters, including a visiting hummingbird (Ruby-throated) and a partially albino crow (tail and lower back were white!). I didn't get a pic of the crow since I was set up for macro flash photography, alas. But I did spy this vicious predator, stalking the wild butterfly. No luck with that stalk, but right after that he eyed my camera as if he was thinking about jumping me...
