My L'll Gal

Postby audiophileman2002 » Mon Aug 31, 2015 8:59 am

Ruby-throated Hummingbird
She's found a home in my back yard. To be more specific, the Flaming Bush. I've maintained a hummingbird feeder regularly changing the fill which is nectar. I've also maintained a flower pot containing the Cigar plant & the Tiny Mice plant which the hummingbirds love.
My L'll Gal will soon migrate south. It's a miracle how one small bird, the size of a thumb, can travel about 1,000 miles in the fall & another 1,000 miles returning in late spring. I'll certainly miss my L'll Gal in the winter but I do wish her safe travels, Godspeed. I'll be looking forward to see her again in late spring next year.

My L'll Man

Ruby-throated Hummingbird
Normally one would see this male species with a black throat but when the light hits that part at a certain angle it becomes ruby red.

Birds Galore

Postby audiophileman2002 » Wed Sep 16, 2015 4:33 am

It's migration season once again & the cold front brings us new avian life. Warblers, thrushes, vireos, flycatchers are starting to come in. Sandpipers, too. Soon the sparrows are coming. All going south. My hummingbirds will likewise leave soon too. Some waterfowl will come & stay mostly in lakes, ponds & on our eastern shores.
At first light, I'm already in a park, environmental area or wildlife refuge. Setting up equipment even before the first light.
Winter time is soon going to be here & readying myself for the cold including getting the necessary outerwear, gloves, mask, hand warmers, et al. Possibly get additional back up camera batteries. Batteries don't last long in below freezing temperatures, has to be warmed up again in a jacket pocket to be useful again.
