The driver of the car in the foreground drove into the bollard, nearly reversed into a woman in a wheelchair, then nonchalantly parked on the double yellow. So glad I didn't bring my car here, if this is the standard of driving to be expected.
I must just get stupid every year. At the end of the summer, I can get hundreds of hummingbird shots in a day. Today, I went out for the first time to really concentrate on hummingbirds. I managed to stink up the joint. Granted, the hummingbirds aren't properly "trained" yet. They kept going to the wrong place and all of that. I haven't gotten the hang of the light yet either. I only got a small handful of shots that didn't stink.
Kind of interesting - I have two males hanging around (without a lot of fighting). I don't think that the above is the mate to the female that shows up every couple of hours. She is looking WAY "with egg" sort of a flying blimp, especially compared to the males which tend to be a bit smaller anyway. If history is a guide, she will show up thinner with a lot of her breast feathers plucked (to line the nest?) in a couple of days.
Update - my agent just rejected this shot because "the wings are kind of blurry." For God's sake! It's a HUMMINGBIRD!!!!!!!!!!!

I dropped by my local library this morning, and took a shortcut through the children’s section. It is still early & the children are only starting to arrive by they are already excited & giggling in the hallway. It certainly looks like a lot of fun will be had here soon.
Ian Burrell very patiently teaching me how to drive the loco. The controls are actually very simple. Handbrake, forward and reverse gears, clutch wheel and throttle.
I had this "job" living in undergraduate residence halls being an all-purpose big-sister/organizer/mediator/task-master. I think I was also supposed to be an intellectual inspiration, but not so sure if that happened. As vaguely worded as the job was, it was intense and took up a lot of my dissertation time... but in return I had a place to live and discovered an energetic crew of student friends. The toughest part was having to draw the line on certain types of behavior according to the rules (some of which might be necessary, but didn't really make sense).
Here, we are learning meringue. We helped organize an event for international students - we had lots of great food. Fun and food seem to attract people. This was a pretty successful event as college programs go... managed to appeal to a wide spectrum of students who usually don't seek out stuff beyond their comfort zone. We had a blast.

After we came back from a long holiday, I was surprised to see a love nest of Pigeon in our balcony. They get puffed up and move in short circles to display love for each other. During our absence they had their peace of time and the result was two eggs (second egg was a day younger) in one of my flower pot. They build relatively flimsy nests from sticks and other debris and used mud from the pot as a base. I saw both the parents caring for the young, which may leave the nest after seven to 28 days. Night time the Mother Pigeon use to hatch and lay them while the male use to do during the day time.
Mother Pigeon is more aggressive and attacks us when we go close. However during her attack she gets filled with air with puffs chest and feathers at the nape of the neck to appear larger and cute.
27th Dec2012
After some 17 days the first egg was hatched and later in the day the second egg also hatched and two yellow babies came out. These birdies are known as Squabs. They have wing like limbs and eyes closed. We provided them with water and millet (Bajra). Later after 4 days of nestling I noticed a peculiar behavior; the young ones will put their beak and hang inside the nostril of their parent bird. Later I checked this behavior on the internet and came to know that Pigeon is a rare bird (Flamingo and penguins are other two birds producing milk) which produces milk and those young ones were sucking through the lining of crop.
A crop (sometimes also called a croup or a craw, or ingluvies) is a thin-walled expanded portion of the alimentary tract used for the storage of food prior to digestion. This anatomical structure is found in a wide variety of animals and birds and is like a pouch.
Both sexes of doves and pigeons produce "crop milk" to feed to their young, secreted by a sloughing of fluid-filled cells from the lining of the crop. Pigeon's milk begins to be produced a couple of days before the eggs are due to hatch. Crop milk bears little resemblance to mammalian milk, being a semi-solid substance somewhat like pale yellow cottage cheese. It is extremely high in protein and fat and contains more of it than cow or human milk. The parents may cease to eat at this point in order to be able to provide the squabs (baby pigeons and doves) with milk uncontaminated by seeds, which the very young squabs would be unable to digest. The baby squabs are fed on pure crop milk for the first week or so of life. After this the parents begin to introduce a proportion of adult food, softened by spending time in the moist conditions of the adult crop, into the mix fed to the squabs, until by the end of the second week they are being fed entirely on softened adult food.

In just one week the baby pigeons start to change color. The underlying skin changes from pinky to grey and dark black. Their eyes were open now and a small humming chirping kind sound (Cooing) started coming from the nest. During the first week the mother used to sit on squabs to keep it warm and protect it.
11th Jan 2013
Their color is completely changed to grey and they look like pigeons J The white lower back of the pure Rock Dove (Feral Pigeon) is its best identification character, the two black bars on its pale grey wings are also distinctive. Still they had brown spikes like feathers on their neck and head.
With the time they became more noisy in the night and dull during day time.
The mother has completely abandoned the babies and only father used to turn up to teach how to eat and other birdie things.
22nd Jan 2013
The squab is now about 3 weeks old and is approaching the age when it should learn to fly. The flapping of wings and falling from the pot was very often and I used to lift them back to the nest. They started attacking me with their wings and beak.

An almost 4 month old Vizsla puppy with a Hasselblad and Ilford Delta 3200 film. Self developed. She is eagerly learning about the world, and how certain behavior receives treats and praise. Though she doesn't understand why I give her a treat a week later as I view the negatives and say "good girl!"
