birds were not yet there, but the tranquil wetlands were good enough to me.../Fågelfri fågelskådning, fåglarna hade inte kommit än, men vattenspegeln i Hjälstaviken var fint nog.../Observación ornitológica sin pájaros, las aves todavía no habían llegado, pero la laguna tranquila fue suficiente...(DSC_0269-4)

Green-crowned Woodnymph - Woodnymphs (Thalurania) are medium-sized hummingbirds with a slightly decurved, black bill; the males also have a noticeably forked tail, and glittering throat and belly. They inhabit the understory of humid lowland forest and in adjacent advanced second growth, and often are common. The Green-crowned Woodnymph is the representative of this genus that occurs from eastern Panama south to southwestern Ecuador. As the name implies, this is the only species of woodnymph in which the crown of the male is glittering green. Four subspecies of Green-crowned Woodnymph are recognized. The three northern subspecies all are very similar: the male has a green throat but a blue breast and belly, while the female has a gray throat and the belly is mixed dark gray and dark green. The southernmost subspecies, hypochlora of southwestern Ecuador, is very different, however: the male is entirely green below, while the underparts of the female are all pale gray.

For Tofu this cat bed fulfills all the requirements of a perfect chill-out zone. It is soft and comfy, has the perfect size, it allows him to be close to me when I work and it is near the window which means that he can watch the birds in the garden while he is relaxing. :)

The precise location of this bird was posted back in December. Would he still be there?

He was.

A few curious folks stopped to watch the spectacular bird drop to the ground and then pop back onto a perch.

It's hard not to just go to Ocean City and fire of a zillion shots in a row. But if you sit and wait for that bird to land at the right spot and get that great background, it will be more gratifying in the end and it gives your camera time to focus. Plus, you don't spend hours deleting all those missed shots. That's my tip of the day.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and favoring my images. Enjoy the day.

Setophaga Castanea

In contrast to the more stable populations of other warblers, their numbers go up and down depending on outbreaks of the spruce budworm. They are abundant during infestations, but decline or even disappear from some areas a few years later.

The American bushtit inhabits mixed open woodlands, often containing oaks and a scrubby chaparral understory ; it also inhabits parks and gardens. It is a year-round resident of the western United States and highland parts of Mexico, ranging from Vancouver through the Great Basin and the lowlands and foothills of California to southern Mexico and Guatemala.

The American bushtit is one of the smallest passerines in North America, at 11 cm (4.3 in) in length and 5–6 g (0.18–0.21 oz) in weight. It is gray-brown overall, with a large head, a short neck, a long tail, and a short stubby bill. The male has dark eyes and the adult female, yellow. Coastal forms have a brown "cap" while those in the interior have brown "mask."

The American bushtit is active and gregarious, foraging for small insects and spiders in mixed-species feeding flocks containing species such as chickadees and warblers, of 10 to over 40 individuals. Members of the group constantly make contact calls to each other that can be described
