Welcome back to Monday Morning Mysteries...

Who are these guys, what are they doing, where and when?

Answer later this week, I hope.

If you were wondering what all the Turkeys are doing at the Fell House, they are there to eat what's left of a deer that was likely hit by a vehicle earlier this weekend. It is too bad about the deer; can only hope no humans were injured in the collision.

A big thank you to the borough for removing the deer.

Marsh Warden Mike Limatola reports that a couple of Common Ravens have investigated the accident scene as well. (Thanks, Mike.)

Saw this guy in the Zapata Swamp on a bird count with the Caribbean Conservation Trust.  Malachite Butterfly.

More on Malachites here.

I have a lot of cool pix from my recent trip to Cuba, so thought I'd share them here.

With the help of some knowledgeable moth friends, I have been able to ID this moth as an Owl Moth (Thysania zenobia, for any ancient Romans out there).

The moth was photographed at my lodgings in Playa Larga, not far from the Bay of Pigs. 

Tomorrow: Malachite Butterfly.

My latest column for The Record is on an effective way to reduce the number of times that birds collide with the windows near your feeders. The product is called BirdSavers, and you can make them yourself or send away for them.

I'll post a link once the column is online. In the meantime, you can read it in the newspaper on Page 5 of the Better Living section.

The column features a photo of a female American Redstart, taken at Garret Mountain by Roy Woodford.

BirdSavers' website is here.
