Rufous Hummingbird male, juvenile flying from twig red eye

Rufous Hummingbird male, juvenile flying from twig red eyeThis little buzzer aggressively protected the feeder I put out and drained it over the two days we spent in the campground.

The light has to strike the iridescent gorget feather just so or else they look black

There were plenty of those here

many cross the Gulf of Mexico in one go

partly matte finish and will be a welcome birdy to any room

We had both Snowy and Piping Plover on this beach

She became a favorite of our group

A very common dove in Central America

she's yellow
