I realize that out of fear or revulsion (or both) some folks won’t even look at photos of spiders but I hope most of my readers aren’t in that category. I think spiders are marvels of evolution and many of them are actually beautiful in their own way.
When it comes to being aware of their surroundings birds don’t miss much but this little fella was an exception. Color him clueless.
When adult swallows are feeding youngsters in flight their aerial maneuvers are usually precise. But occasionally someone screws up.
Kingfishers are hard enough to capture while perched but photographing them well in flight increases the degree of difficulty by several orders of magnitude.
Today’s post is more about people than it is about birds. Far more. But they’re my people and they’re important to me.
Three days ago I found the Spotted Sandpiper chicks again and they were closer than they were last time.
Yesterday I had a good morning in the mountains. I documented interesting behaviors from several species and I was even able to get a few photos I like.
And my first look ever at a recently hatched Spotted Sandpiper chick. This little guy is cute as snot.
A different species this time, Black-chinned instead of the Broad-tailed Hummingbirds I’ve been posting lately.
