Nuthatch, Songbird Variety, Florals & Ruby (20)


Hi PhotoFriends,

My Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds have finally left.
Last year my last sighting of a hummer was September 17 and this year it was September 27th.

I finally started to photograph my songbirds. They have been very active! A good variety has been showing up.

My very late in the season perennial flowers have started blooming which is so nice to view when summer flowers have ended.

I decided to do a variety post of Ruby-Throat, Songbirds and my current flowers in bloom. I am including Ruby since I have so many photos that I still haven’t shared with you all yet.

Here goes a new story

Good morning everyone. What a beautiful early autumn day in my flower garden.
Hope you all are doing well!

You are right Mr. Nuthatch, it is a beautiful day because I see Ruby is still in the garden.

Yes, I am still here but the sun is setting much earlier now <sigh> so I think I will start packing my nectar for my long journey home.

Hey Ruby check out a new flower Mrs. Gardener has planted. Not sure if it is something you can pack in your suitcase but I advise that you check it out!

Sorry, it’s not tasty nectar that you will pack away Ruby. There are two more autumn flowers to also check out.

Boy I am exhausted checking out those three new autumn flowers.
I am to say that I didn’t care for them; they gave me a bellyache.

Cheer up Mrs. Gardener, Ruby will be back in no time. You have all us colorful songbirds to photograph and just think mid-October you will be photographing the bald eagles. So life isn’t that bad

#1 is #1 for me. Excellent detail, good bg, and a nice, classic pose. Enjoyable set BB.

Beautiful set BeeBalm. When we were in Arkansas, I tried and tried to get photos of the Chickadees, Titmouse and Nuthatch, but none were close enough to get a good shot. (The 5 dogs in the yard didn't help much ) I love seeing your birds. I know they are backyard birds to you, but for me they are a rare pleasure to see. Great set.

Stunning set BB. 16 is my pick yet if you ask me again in an hour I'd probably chose another as there as so many that could be it.

Terrific set, Bee Balm. The tufted titmouse in #17 is my favorite, and that nuthatch in #1 is pretty special, but I enjoyed them all.

Enjoyable set, BB. As much as I enjoy your bird shots, I really like the flowers, too. #6 is my favorite. Nice job with the soft, dreamy look.

Another terrific set, Bee. Absolutely love the processing of the 'gold lace' shot. You need to hang that one somewhere.
