Birds Of A Feather (sort of)

Posted by Don Ray on Dec 16 2009 at 03:42 pm

Last post and photos till I return from Costa Rica. I couldn’t leave without seeing the baby hummingbirds, so I stopped by the church this morning.

Here is the nest. When you look at the birds, remember that the two of them together are smaller than a quarter in size. If you have some change in your pocket, look at a 25 cent piece and consider the size.

Here is a close-up. Amazing!

    Agree, Don. Amazing shot, amazing opportunity. I’ve never seen anything like it. Now, if only you’d asked them to sit up and smile!

    Hi Jaime. Glad you enjoyed the photos. Wonder if they will have flown the nest before I return.

    From you Abe, that is a real compliment. For anyone that has never visited on of Abe Lincoln’s blogs and seen his nature photos, you should really give them a visit. Artist, author, photogropher and a good blogging friend of mine.

    Here is just one on his sites..

    Amazing photos but even more so to have actually found the nest. Here in northern British Columbia, the only chance of discovering a nest is this time of year, when all the leaves are gone and everything is frosted. Thanks for sharing!
