You guessed it, this cicada did not impale itself on the branch....
This Loggerhead Shrike looks a bit guilty.
Sure enough, it was the "butcher bird"!
I was a bit annoyed with myself that I got busy following this Ceraunus Blue and missed the impaling event.
At least I got my first photo of this tiny, colorful butterfly with its wings open.

Another slow day for birds, but lots of butterflies still around.
