Hi Flexers, I only had a brief visit from one male Rufous hummingbird this morning and when he saw me he was gone in a flash! He's much more skittish than his female counterpart. So, I went over to the Otter Bay ferry terminal and after I was set up the bald eagles from across the bay showed up. Very convenient. Here they are landing at the dock. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Hummers2014/8513.jpg.html> When you are dealing with over 200 cm (more than 6 feet of wing span) sometimes it's a bit hard to get settled: <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Hummers2014/8518.jpg.html> Once landed and settled there was an opportunity for a family portrait: <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Hummers2014/8534.jpg.html> And when Mama got bored she flew straight at me and away: <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Hummers2014/8620.jpg.html> Yes I did duck!! Please look large - C&C always welcome. Howard. ------ Unsubscribe or change to/from Digest Mode at: http://www.lrflex.furnfeather.net/ Archives are at: //www.freelists.org/archives/leicareflex/
