This is a female Anna's hummingbird, looking nice and green and maybe even a little plump. I've seen a big increase in hummingbird activity lately. I got chewed out by both males and females today as I checked feeder levels and refilled them. I mean, they got right up in my face, just a few inches from me and chattered at me with aggression. Strongly-worded letter to follow.
Gulls or seagulls are seabirds of the family Laridae in the sub-order Lari. They are most closely related to the terns (family Sternidae) and only distantly related to auks, skimmers, and more distantly to the waders. Until the twenty-first century most gulls were placed in the genus Larus, but this arrangement is now known to be polyphyletic, leading to the resurrection of several genera. An older name for gulls is mew, cognate with German "Möwe" and Dutch "meeuw"; this term can still be found in certain regional dialects.
Paragliding is gaining more and more popularity in Ukraine.
According to the athletes, the best location is Mount Hymba in the Pylypets village, Transcarpathian region. Athletes can offer a ride in the sky, where you will see incredible mountain scenery, forests, a small mountain lake and the unforgettable colors of the Borzhava ridge.
Leonardo da Vinci said:
"Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward. For there you have been, and there you will always long to return." And it's true!
This Blue Heron was just taking flight when I took this shot. I had been watching and photographing it for some time while it was hunting in the tall grasses along the shoreline. I crept up as close as I could to it (staying low and behind a tree). It stayed frozen in one position for at least fifteen minutes while it waited for its prey to move... and while I waited while holding the five pound 200-500mm lens mounted on my camera..

I had been photographing this young bull moose (alces alces) while it was feeding in the shallows and I inadvertently knocked an oar against the side of my small fishing boat. The result was instant flight. Photographed at Wolf Lake, Yukon Territory, Canada. More at "Colin Pacitti Wildlife Photography & Fishing Travels" - www.colin-pacitti.com.
Hamilton, NJ - A Pileated Woodpecker couple has been in the backyard several times over the last 2 weeks. Hopefully a nest is close.

This year I might drive to different directions to find a good location for bird photography. It is important to have all the equipment before going to shoot. I need to be patient in order to have good bird pictures. Capturing birds in flight is not easy especially with longer lenses, so it needs some practice. Make sure bird in flight should be in focus from the first image. This year I will drive far away and find different birds in flight rather than just the seagulls. I prefer cloudy days because I don’t like harsh light on birds. I always delete blurry images. Zoom in to see the details on the birds’ feathers. Have a wonderful weekend!
