Anna's Hummingbird, Female.

At 890 feet (270 m) above the Colorado River, the Mike O'Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge is the second highest bridge in the United States

A happy little pollinator.

Who needs the London Underground (or a bike) when in SL you can use a hoverboard!

From last year at the Hummingbird sanctuary,

Happy weekend everyone.

I always find it fascinating to observe Rough-legged hawks hover for some time while hunting. They usually hover much higher in the sky however this time the hawk was lower and did not land after scrutinizing the ground for prey.

Je trouve toujours ça fascinant de voir les Buses pattues faire du sur place quand elles chassent. C'est habituellement de beaucoup plus haut qu'elles le font. Celle-ci s'est arrêtée en vol à cet endroit et a attentivement observé le sol à la recherche d'une proie. Elle a ensuite continué sans se poser.

Another shot of this gorgeous little hummer.

 

It's going to be a few days before I get the opportunity for more shots like this as I trimmed all the blooms off of the bee balm. And wouldn't you know it - aphids like these plants as much as the hummingbirds. Working on a natural way to get rid of them....

 

Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!

I was out today looking for subjects in the yard, when I noted that the hoverflies were out, in the sun against a dark background. I had the long macro, but it _is_ a 200mm, also, so I started shooting. Although small in the frame, they were in focus, even with my manual focus.

Rufus female Hummingbird. Honeysuckle flowers. Very aggressive and will chase Anna's away. Most winter in wooded areas in the Mexico state of Guerrero, traveling over 2,000 miles by an overland route from its nearest summer home—a prodigious journey for a bird weighing only three or four grams.

This hoverfly kept returning to the same leaf, then moving up into the air near. Got out the trusty 200mm macro (manual focus) and started shooting. Got a few keepers out of the session.

Have a Happy FriYay and a beaut weekend everyone.

 

Happy Fly Day Friday!

It was a very windy day.

Have a nice day and thank you for visiting!

I was at Chaplin Lake in Saskatchewan when this Common Tern was looking for fish. It would hover in one spot while searching the salt water below and then dive down if it spotted food. In this photo it took a brief moment while hovering to check me out! This looks to be a breeding adult.

Have a terrific day, everyone...

After a couple of complete no shows, the stars aligned with the last bit of warm sunlight and a hover just about near enough. Over the moon and one of the first R5 shots that I'm really pleased with.

All Flickr friends wish you a nice week!

Black Jacobin - It's migratory and they appear in São Paulo during summer where they reproduce. This is a young one and was photographed at Trilha dos Tucanos - Tapiraí - São Paulo.

 

Stay safe! Happy Friday!

Time for another dragonfly..

A Blue Skimmer, I think, catching the last of the warm sun at the billabong.

I have to be lucky enough that one will pause to hover in a pocket of light, and give me time to focus at long range then zoom in on him.

Lol, I've taken plenty of blurred ones…

Common Hoverfly (Melangyna viridiceps)

 

This Hoverfly was enjoying a Dandelion Fest.

I just love the bright red bill and blue to emerald plumage of the broad-billed hummingbird. This species supposedly eats 1.6 to 1.7x their bodyweight in food each day. And like other hummingbird species their tiny legs and feet are incapable of walking or hopping. Their mobility comes entirely from flight.
