The Swallow-tailed Hummingbird is a large, spectacular denizen of open savanna-like vegetation in the southern and northeastern tropics of South America. It is easily recognizable as a large violet and green hummingbird with an impressive long, deeply forked tail. It is readily seen in defense of dense nectar resources such as those found on flowering trees, but it will also feed on insects in the air. It is divided into five subspecies, four of which occur in the southern disjunct portion of the specie’s range and often intergrade.

They are all pretty active right now, catching insects and building nest. Let's see if I can find them all before the end of the Summer.

Stuck at home while it's raining this morning instead of playing golf there is only one thing to do - trawl through the archives for anything remotely worth posting.

It was a nice day Sunday, but cloudy skies. It was still an amazing site to get this close to this beauty. It seems they work off a clock. Adrian said it start flying around 9:30am. Sure enough, it was right on time and right over my head. The one time I was hoping for a blue sky.

One of my favourite birds is the swallow, when they leave at the end of summer my heart drops and winter is just around the corner, but in late spring I start to watch out for their return, and I still get as excited at 51 years old as I did as a young man. Their return signals long sunny days and warm evenings, watching them dart around the sky, chattering and laughing as they catch bugs and take them to their baby’s. I’ve been so privileged to be able to watch their lives unfold this year as the new house has provided a sheltered nesting site in the stables for many years. This little bunch of baby’s will be filling the sky with chattering joyous fun any day now. I just hope they return safely next year to make our lives just that little bit happier and enjoyable.

I'm not sure what these swallows were talking about but it was a very passionate conversation. Photographed at Cromwell Valley Park in Maryland this morning.

(Elanoides forficatus) Not the best lighting but the best I could do as it flew over my head! It is eating on the wing.

Many thanks to those who comment on my photo's and/or add them as favourites.
