Hi

A little bird told me that my name was mentioned on the forum, so I thought I'd check in to see what you've all been up to, and it appears you're all behaving nicely - what a surprise.

As usual, I see some good stuff here, so no one has lost their touch or their camera gear . I have some catching up to do, and will begin by posting a few from my back yard.

1, 2 & 3 - If a bushtit has yellow eyes, it's a female, like these

4 - female, 5 male (dark brown eyes), 6 male

Lovely series of the cute little ones.
Thanks for sharing

Tim

Wow, what an amazing little fellow. It looks a bit like it is looking to create some mischief, but yet it is so innocent looking as well. Excellent photographs!

7 great pose from this little one
8 the only normal pose in the bunch
9 - 13 all taken on a different day from 7&8. These all display the puffed up chest that male hummers achieve when another male hummer has dared venture into his territory.

10, tough little dude
11, He's about ready to go after the intruder
12, Settles down a little but keeping a very watchful eye

another interruption....HIYA Miss B

13, No flash was used. Last one
