All hail the...

I was taking pictures of a small bloom inside the plants along our backyard fence when an old friend popped up from within the leaves to say hello! I call him Chief. At least I think this is the one I call Chief. I try to tell them apart by the markings on their head, but this might not be right. Anyway, he's Chief because for a long time he reined atop the most wanted fence post in the yard. Any given day I could usually find him out there if it was sunny enough. And he's longer and a bit bigger than the others I typically see. He also seems less bothered by me and doesn't squirm away quickly like some others. I just noticed this weekend that I think another guy has taken the fence post from him. We'll see if he retakes it.

Chief sounds like the alpha male :)
