course there is always the bad hummer shot....
It shouldn't be but a few days before we have juvie Robins too. How about photo of a Robin on the nest? I either need a longer lens or a tall ladder.
Thanks Nan, for the new thread. As usual, I've some to share on this one. FOTV; I need a tall ladder here too. lol, only your Robin nest looks much better. Ha! What kind of fruits are those lovelies? A smart bird! Didn't have to go too far to refuel.

where is the hummer ???
maybe a juvie baltimore oriole
Awww, nice series on that elusive hummer, hg.
Gotta strain your eyes to find this female Northern Cardinal braving the heat while sitting on her nest.
Can't miss that orange beak Lily. LOL
LOL on all the pictures.
This Oak Titmouse was testing the water and flew down to it, dipped the feet and flew to the side-at least 3 times before it finally jumped all the way in. Just wish I'd gotten a better picture of the dipping technique.
Hehehe, Duc that's too funny!
Male Ruby Throat hummingbird; there is one here I promise.
He came closer for a photo op. still I was too excited to hold the camera still. lol.
Oh this was a hooot; Carolina Wren was doing her/his mating song & dance.
Previous post was when the song was sung, this next one--here comes the dance. lol
Wouldn't you know it. It worked! Its partner arrived, and the two took off together and live happily ever after.
The End.
Nice start, nanny.
Man, you guys sure take some lousy shots. lol
See, you ought to try to do one like this. See how pretty my feeder looks.
Bet you can't find the hummer.

LOL Hack, the feeder is sure is pretty! So is the hummer. lol. He's too colorful to be missed.
I see him too,I kinda like our shots of the blurr..LOL
Yep, he's in the lower left.
Hack
Lily, I can just imagine that wren doing the mating dance. lol
Hack, I see your little guy coming in for a landing!
So much for taking my colorful photos-
This is the lazy guys stretch.
Great shot of the hummer, crummy one of the lantana blooms.
Duc, the wren pics. was fun. I wished I have captured that on video. I love, love your hummingbirds out West!
Have not idea what we may find here:
Darn Hummers are making me crazy.
Hack
They're making me nuts too...
And this one's worse.
Mama & Papa Robin have been taking turns feeding their fledglings religiously for the past several weeks.
There were at least three babies in the nest flapping their wings yesterday and knew they'd be gone in the next day or two. The nest was empty this afternoon and found this one that appears to have a broken leg not too far from the nest. Last I checked, Moma is still feeding it :)
So sad - the one with the busted leg.
Hack
Looks OK there, or is it the other leg? Even so, with the leg still soft and growing, it should repair quickly.
Resin
AWW,nice bad photos anyway=}

Ouch. Yes that leg in the upper left of the photo looks bad. poor buddy.
Ouch! Hadn't seen that! I only looked below the bird . . .
Unlikely to survive - the leg will interfere with flying, so it'll be an easy target for a predator.
Resin
Oh how sad is that baby Robin!
Children don't play fair sometimes, a juvie House Finch tries to intimidate a Juvie Cardinal at the lunch buffet.

My thinking, Hack. Another nice bad one, LIly_Love :)
The baby Robin was still here yesterday but no sign of it today, including any aftermatch of feathers. But who knows since we see a pair of Red Shouldered Hawks fly over nearly every day. The Mom Robin is already building a new nest. That'll make the 3rd one this year in the same Cherry tree. Hadn't noticed that behaviour from Robins before and wondered if it's normal for them to abandon prior nests?
Hah, with all respect. Hack and FOTV, my view is that dynamite comes in small packages as evidence by Willy Wagtails attacking Ospreys (as in down under), Mockingbirds attacking Hawks ects. I was so tickled the other day when I saw a Mockingbirds attacking my beloved Golden Retriever. The dog did never notice the pesky Mockingbird hovering above its field of vision, but the bird chased the dog, then occassionally dive bombed the dog for a good long while before it abandon the chase. lol.
Here is another awful pic of Great Blue Heron in flight. (I think).
I understand what you mean lily. My aunt has some kind of puny, little dog, who thinks he can whip anything on 4 legs. He's not afraid of anything. He's just lucky that all the other dogs he chooses to "attack" pay him no mind.
