Kenshin posted:I saw swarms of Anna's and rufous hummingbirds today at Discovery Park here in Seattle. Most of them looked pretty young, so it seems like fledglings of both species learning to be territorial without having quite figured out how to spread further yet. I like them all, but I love this one. Very nice.

President Beep posted:I have to ask: What in the heck is up with the metadata? f/1.0 at 300mm??? Adapted lenses gently caress up exit data. It's a Canon 300 f/4 FD on a fuji. Most shots were at 5.6, I think. Oh, and he hangs around a place that raises turkeys and has a few half breed kids in jail. The farmed turkeys are pure white, and there are a couple of pretty gray girls, too, as a result of the big boy spreading his genetics. He would not let cars go by without a run at them. A woman with a 500mm on a Nikon I think was shooting too, but unhappy because the only shots not of his rear end were on pavement. I felt her pain. He was great at getting behind poo poo until he got on the road. torgeaux fucked around with this message at 02:28 on Mar 22, 2018 |

PREYING MANTITS posted:Finally managed to catch a photo of an immature bald eagle at the dam near where I live. Apparently there are five total, but I only saw two today. This one was the only one that cooperated to an extent but would not go into the better light for the life of me. There's one about that age near me, at Evergreen Lake in Colorado, that's not where you are, I assume.

Pretty much all birding comes down to knowing time and place. With home feeders, the place is easy, and it's really a matter of them adjusting to you on hummingbirds. These little bastards are so used to me now, they're giving me attitude. What are YOU looking at by B. B., on Flickr

DorianGravy posted:Those colors are gorgeous. Hummingbirds get used to you really quick. When I'm changing a feeder, they'll keep feeding, and when I bring a new one out, they'll start feeding while I'm hanging it. The camera sitting next to the feeder doesn't phase them at all.

PREYING MANTITS posted:I could be wrong since I'm not the best at identifying the smaller birds, but is this a textbook example of brood parasitism? That one being fed sure looks like a fat brown-headed cowbird chick. Birds are some brutal animals, man. I love all raptors, they're just regal. Yeah, it definitely looks like a juvenile cowbird.

ExecuDork posted:How painful is it to have a couple of chickens on your back, pecking at your neck? That sounds rather uncomfortable to me. Eh. They do it alot as grooming behavior, it's not too bad. Dog pecked a scab right off my knee and that hurt like hell. If they see blodd, theyll keep pecking it.

I have one little friend who sits as look out for the ruby throated or rufous hummingbirds. It doesn't matter where I am, he goes to his post on the pole above "their" feeders and will chase off any of the broad-tails who come by. The broad-tails have their own feeder. The raptor, on the other hand, is an unwelcome guest since my chickens free range. He's a handsome devil.  Digging That Hairstyle by B. B., on Flickr My Buddy in Profile by B.
