Buff-winged Starfrontlets are appropriately named and have a conspicuous buff-colored patch on their wings. These hummingbirds are rather territorial and often pursue other hummingbirds in high chases, or guard flowers from others from a nearby perch. Buff-winged Starfrontlets inhabit dense cloud forests, elfin forests, and nearby shrubby areas. They are most often seen foraging low around forest borders where they primarily feed on nectar by hovering or briefly clinging to flowers.

I took part in a Lost Locations photo shoot last Thursday. It was exciting, but also exhausting. Later, nothing worked without a torch and a tripod.

Saltator atripennis
(Black-winged Saltator / Saltador de alas negras)
The Black-winged Saltator is a fairly common resident of humid montane forest on the west slope of the Andes from southern Ecuador to northern Colombia. It is more difficult to see than some other species of saltator, perhaps due to its preference for the canopy and its avoidance of clearings.

This is one of a decent-sized population that seem to be stable in the Cuyamaca Mountains. They used to be considered "rare" in these mountains, but I have seen them in groups of over half a dozen near my home for quite a few years now.

A Green Heron was prompted to fly from shore by a fisherman, so lucky me got to see it fly right past. Again, lucky, I got it dipping its wing in the lake. Santa Margarita Lake, CA.
I got lucky today as one of our local orchid experts took the time to show me a hidden meadow full of flowering green-winged orchids. They have an amazing variety of color, ranging from white, through pink, to deep purple. I'll have to return there in a few weeks when other species of orchids will come into bloom.
Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to view, fave or comment on my photo. It is very much appreciated.

Ruby-throated Hummingbird preparing for the daily battle in morning light. Thanks again for the visit.
This poor Barred Owl with an injured wing was being harassed by crows. Fortunately, someone captured it and took it to the Wild Bird Care Centre. It has recovered and was just released the other day!

I don't see these birds very often at my feeders so I was happy when a couple of them showed up yesterday a few times.
We haven't seen many of these so far this winter. I have been reading of more sightings recently. It would be great if we get a late winter irruption.
