A backlit female Rufous Hummingbird sipping nectar from our Zinnia flowers. Photo taken August, 2024, in our backyard in Camas, Washington.

If I hadn't seen her on the ground first, I would never spotted her in the tree. She is not as showy as the male but very sought after by multiple males. Her nest is made on the ground under the shelter of logs, rock ledges or tree roots. It's usually a shallow scratched out nest with sometimes just leaves and sticks covering it. After the chicks hatch they follow the female around eating mostly insects.

A fun, spring session with this female bushtit.

This sweet little girl was busy tossing her crayfish catch in the air. I believe they do this to shake off the legs but I'm not quite sure.

At Morton lochs in Tentsmuir forest this afternoon.

I was fortunate to have this sweet female red winged blackbird following me around by the edge of the lake. I was looking for my usual landscape compositions and she 'bout had to hit me over the head telling me to take her picture. The only problem was that she was way too far away with my little 300mm lens but I gave it a shot anyway. They file was so dinky with few pixels after the huge crop but Adobe's Super Resolution came to the rescue and I was easily able to double the file size and have something to work with.

Thank you for your warm and kind visits and comments my filckr friends. You are all very much appreciated! 💖

Tom has spent a very long time planning this hide, you have so many options from diving & perched Kingfishers at the same time, i also had Red Kites about, long tailed tits and he's planning more for 2018

Species: Turdus torquatus.

Location: Derbyshire, UK.

Ring ouzels are roughly the size and shape of a blackbird. Males are mostly black, with a broad white crescent across the breast and white edging to the wings and some body feathers, which gives them a scaly look. Females are similar, but the black is often more brownish, and the white parts duller. Info: Wildlife Trust.

Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos.

Satin bower-bird female visiting my back yard.

These birds love to play with blue toys, so I throw out the milk carton tops which they take away to their bower. Then they come back and pull my blue flowers to pieces.

But, they are fun to watch, so I try to grow enough flowers for both of us.

This female eagle was brought from Florida to ZooAmerica years ago and was born in 2005. It was found with multiple injuries to its left wing, leg and head. She is also blind in her left eye. The cause of her injuries is unknown. She is accompanied by another female eagle rescued in Tennessee, who was born in Tennessee in 2006. She was injured by a gunshot and her right wing had to be partially amputated.

Thank you very much for your visit and taking the time to comment! Really appreciated!

Sat at home with covid (again).... Climbing the walls as the sun is out (first time in over a week) and getting rather bored. :@[

Glad to see this elusive bird in the open.

Buscando otra cosa encontré, en la arboleda un grupo de Chalcolestes viridis y esta hembra me permitió hacerle unas fotos aunque a cierta altura. No me disgustó,

Looking for something else, I found, in the grove, a group of Chalcolestes viridis and this female allowed me to take some photos, although at a certain height. She didn't dislike me

The male cardinals get all the glory, but I think the females are pretty stunning also.

They may not be a gaudy as the male but I think they’re just as pretty
