I went to Hyde Park in the afternoon. It was pretty warm. I stayed for about one hour and saw nice variety of things.

I saw my first Clearwing Moth July 26/18. I can't believe I saw another one today! I was fumbling with my camera trying to get some nice shots as it was moving from flower to flower. This is the best I can do. It could be a Snowberry Clearwing.

This is a very beautiful flower...not sure what it is.
I managed to get one photo of this flycatcher before it flew off. Then I saw it again on the walkway. Not good at flycatcher IDs but I think it's an Eastern Phoebe.

Beautiful Clearwing! Looking at Bugguide ( https://bugguide.net/node/view/2638 ) I think it may be a Hummingbird Clearwing because "Underside mostly white in front, extending to front legs, then reddish behind, unlike mostly black underside of H. diffinis." and for the Snowberry Clearwing "legs are black" I'm not an expert, though.
