It's an orange blossom Hummer!
Taken on: Apr 3, 2013
This was a pure honest to God lucky shot. I was standing across the street from this mobile home park (no, not the trashy lowbrow street-bum trailer park where everybody's nicknamed Bubba n' Kitty Sue..this is a NICE one with birds, n' critters n' such) when I caught a slight flicker out of the corner of my eye. I instinctively turned the camera and started shooting before I even caught sight of what it was that I was shooting at..imagine my delight after polishing off 4 snaps in rapid succession! A cute wee hummer snacking his way round the orange blossoms on a cool sunny Tuesday morning...indeed a great start to the day!

The local mockingbird striking up a tune for all who would listen. Mockers are amazing critters...they start their serenade in the middle of the night and go on until the next day.

Not one of my best shots, but my lil bud moved so quickly that I didn't have time to adjust my settings...I could only manage about three snaps before he flew off and perched back on the power lines above me. I like it though...

Wow...who said that birding was a dull occupation? Caught these two rather amorous critters doing what all hot blooded birdies do when it's Spring and I gotta say they ain't all that concerned with privacy issues!

Springtime and thoughts naturally venture to....well, to nature and all things, um....natural? Simply put, I caught these two European Starlings doing the horizontal mambo and I gotta say they were'nt all that concerned with anyone witnessing it. It ain't often one can catch birds "inflagrante delecto" so to speak but it does happen and well...here ya go.
