Just Chilling
He finished eating and just sat there for a long time, looking around. You can see a tiny bit of suet on the tip of the beak. Didn't leave until a dove tried to land on it.

This iridescent little fly was on my bee balm. I was able to get it identified to the genus level, a genus that was new to me. Also that it is a female. Females have a tail in the form of concentric cones. Males have a rounded tail. I have one other view that I'll add that shows this. Is it possible to get a species identification?

3 photos from when just the male mallard was in my yard.
Photo 1: This is one of the pair of mallards that decided to visit my yard this summer. He had just finished taking a bath in my fountain.

Photo 2: Guess my grass was a little high right then. Not sure what he was finding.
Photo 3: Photo taken right before my mallard visitor started exploring behind the hedges. I love how his head changes colors depending on where the light hits it.
