The perfect shot!

This wee featherball landed on a branch just three feet away from me and my trusty A57. A small bird size-wise but with the heart of an eagle....

Bird battle!!
Taken on: May 13, 2013
Did I mention that hummingbirds are feisty little guys? Alot of fightin goes on at these feeders...hummers diving at each other, jockeying for a prime spot or simply in the mood for an altercation...I've seen it all. These two got into it while I was shooting this morning..usually it happens waaaay too fast for my camera to catch the action, but this time I managed to pop off a couple of snaps before they flew off. Not one of my best pics but it still conveys the violent world they live in.

Mated for Life
Taken on: May 8, 2013
These magnificent birds have set up shop in my favourite "roosting tree" up in Sunland Park. Ravens and crows, while similar in appearance are actually quite different. Calmer, quieter and twice the size of their cousins, ravens rarely gather in flocks the way that crows do and once they find that perfect partner they're together for the rest of their lives. They're also non-transitory, meaning they don't migrate from place to place, preferring to stay put year-round Engaging, smart and hell of alot eaiser to snap photos of, they're one of my favourite birds.

Raven
Taken on: May 8, 2013
This is a raven, folks. Not to be mistaken for their lesser cousin the common crow, they're pretty magnificent to behold. Cooler, calmer and blessed with a deeper caw than their brethren, they're a full size bigger and from my observation, a helluva lot smarter.

It's Spring and time for all good lil birdies to find a nesting place, even when there's a rather chilly storm on the way.
