Flying and Landing

The other evening I spotted three black and yellow butterflies flying in our yard. My husband said they were grasshoppers. I never knew grasshoppers had wings! I knew that grasshoppers hopped but I had no idea they also flew and had colorful wings like butterflies.

Speaking of flying, I just saw a hawk fly by with a dead pigeon in its clutches! He landed on top of the little mill building on Hazel Street and began his feast but he flew away as Lily and I approached.
