Venus, Mars, stars, and the Moon aligned last night from lower right to upper left.
The key to the night sky last night from LiveSky.com.
How many flies do flycatchers catch when flycatchers are catching flies? That is a good 17-syllable question. However, I couldn’t get a Timku out of the question as it is phrased. I made a couple of gifs and wrote and recorded a silly song to go with the gifs, and made a music video instead of a Timku.
This lizard ran up ahead of me and stopped in a sliver of shade and looked at me. When it saw its reflection in the Bazooka, it came back toward me to challenge the lizard in the lens. I had to back up because it got too close for me to focus. It did push-ups for the challenge.

Bunny in the bosque
New Mexico whiptail lizard
Sparrows
Bullfrog hanging in the current
Turtle
Turkey Vulture

I love that first night sky image.
So… How many does it catch? You were making me dizzy on the guitar solos! LOL
Wonderful and varied selection (that Blue Grosbeak is a handsome fella)
You think it made you dizzy. That poor flycatcher got all dizzy. I was trying some speed riffs. Not my best! Not my best at all. I’m happy you liked the varied selection. Thanks, Dale.
Hahaha! No doubt! Wasn’t your best but it wasn’t bad at all, I say. I did like your variety.
Fabulous…love all of them.
Thanks, Gigi.
Welcome.
Love Flycatcher! Great job 🎶🎶🎶
Thanks, Holly.
Denebola … they mention that a lot in Star Trek. 🛸🛸🛸
Denebola is on the Moon’s right tonight. It’s cloudy right now so I can’t the moon. I’m hoping it will clear up by 10. Thanks, Deborah.
We’re about 45 minutes out of Detroit. It’s been a dark and stormy night here in Michigan. Had to wait out a few thunderstorms. Not the ideal night to fly.
Thunderstorms and aiplanes don’t play nicely with each other. It was clear all day yesterday, last night and today until around 5:00 pm. It was 42 when I got up before 6:00 this morning, and the high was 96. With the cloud cover it’s still 80 outside tonight. The official humidy was 4%. My weather station showed 13% humidity, but I irrigated on Thursday night, so the ground is still wet.
Wow! You’ve packed a lot of beauty and entertainment in this post. Great job!
Thanks, Michele.

Probably a lot ! 😉 Thanks for explaining the night sky Timothy.
You are welcome, Rudi.
Love the video and accompanying music…..great stuff:). Not sure if my comments are getting through. I think I need to have a re-set
This comment got through. Thanks, Janet.
What a selection, Timothy. you have excelled yourself.
Thanks, Shey.
A ha ha… brilliant, Tim, perfect tongue-twister and I love the guitar sounding like a fly just caught! 😉 Happy to see all the creatures enjoying paradise and Venus is so bright these days!
Have a great week ahead!
Thanks, Marina. Saturn is said to be perfectly clear now, but I would have to go out at 3:00 to see it.
3:00 is deep sleep time! 🤣
Absolutely.
love the song Tim. I was just thinking, “I miss Timku’s songs and there it was!”
Love it and of course your amazing pictures!
Thanks, Cindy. It’s an annoying song for and annoying bird.
I didn’t think so … I loved the birds head appearing to dance but I don’t have to listen to him.. hahaha
That night sky was so gorgeous that the fun of this post caught me off guard. Tim, the fly catcher is really groovin’. Tee-hee! Seriously, that’s some great guitar work. I got a kick out of the way you described the encounter with the lizard. Hugs.
Thanks, Teagan. I’m happy you got a bit of entertainment out of the post.
Very clever video! I enjoyed all the bird photos.
Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.
Thanks for the star map, Tim. The critters from your area are always a treat, especially the turtles. I rarely see one around here.
I enjoyed your flycatcher video and song. I like the guitar work in there, too. How are your hands doing? Have you made any more guitars?
Thanks, Lavinia. My hands are getting worse. They are always swollen and getting ever slower on the guitar. I have not made guitar in a long time.
I am sorry to hear that. I wish I had a magic wand and could fix them.
That would be nice.
Very nice, pictures, I especially like the lizard. It’s very interesting how you created that video about the flycatcher.
Thanks, Roberta.
That as fun… love the guitar at the end of the vid.
Answer:
A fly catcher catches as many flies as a fly catcher catches when a fly catcher’s catching flies.
Wow, it’s a veritable wildlife wonderland here today. Love it! xo
It’s a Wild Wild Life around here. Thanks, Resa.

Wow, you have a variety of creatures for us today. Wonder if Biden would be willing to take that lizard on in a pushup competition.
The lizard would kick Biden’s ass. Thanks, Brian.
I can just imagine the lizard doing push-ups! Great video Tim .. and wonderful bunny pics
Thanks, Julie.
