| The sky near sunset, July 18, 2020 Sitting out on the deck watching the hummingbirds. |
 |
| The glow of sunset seemed to give a heavenly look to the little hummingbird. |
 |
| Hummingbirds like to feed in the evening. |
Linking up today with Saturday's Critters. Thanks, Eileen, for hosting!
And more hummers ...
Note: I don't claim any kind of perfection on the photos below. They are nothing like the ones you can see at Audubon However, they are not too bad for a novice at snapping pics of hummingbirds. I like the photos for helping me ID the birds, which isn't quite as simple as it might seem.
 |
| I like it when they settle down at the feeder and relax while dining. |
 |
| What I like here is the color of the feathers being almost luminescent. |
 |
| At first I thought this was a Ruby-throated ... but now I think it is an Anna's |
 |
| There are moments when they seem totally at rest. |
Hello, John
ReplyDeleteI think your hummer photos are great. They are so sweet, I love to watch them at my feeders and zipping all around the yard. The Anna's is a beautiful hummingbird. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Enjoy your day,wishing you a happy weekend! PS, thank you for the visit and comment.

DeleteHi John- I like your photos of the Birds. I wish I had my Camera when a solitary Owl landed on our Cloths Line several years ago- the only OWL seen here in 40 years! (LOL). Best Wishes. KEV.
ReplyDeleteThank you KEV.

Thank you Jan.
DeleteI only time I ever saw a hummingbird (we don't have them here) I made a total mess of trying to get a photo. Between it's fluttering and my hands shaking with excitement I didn't stand a chance! I particularly like the shot where the feathers look so luminescent.
ReplyDeleteThank you Pauline.
DeleteHi John,
ReplyDeleteYou asked on my blog If I was Acadian.
As you know, Acadians are the descendants of the original French settlers in eastern Canada. My descendants were Scottish, Irish and English who settled in Newfoundland, further east. I do not have Acadian ancestry but there are many Acadians in Prince Edward Island.
