Too Much Research

I'm not certain about the Blue Grosbeak and Painted Bunting.  Different books
describe and picture both differently.  So I am not counting them yet.  Yes, I
saw birds looking exactly as those depicted.  But I need still another look.

And as for butterflies, I still have been unable to tell if the blackbutterfly is
indeed a PipeVine (very poisonous, not that I planned to eat them)
Swallowtail or a Black Swallowtail or a Spicebush--all 3 are very similar.

The yellow ones are Tiger Swallowtails; I am positive on that one.  The orange
ones are Monarchs.  But the black ones still confound me.
