The beaks of hummingbirds are covered with a skin, Fred told us. At first this skin is wrinkled to accommodate a larger beak as the bird matures. If you see the wrinkles in the beak you can be pretty sure it is a first year bird, and this one was. He also looked in her open mouth and it was yellow, which young birds have as a way of signaling their mother for more food (the male only mates, and then the mother builds the nest, lays the eggs, keeps them warm, then feeds the babies (they eat mostly protien (and even adults have 75% or so of their diet as protien, small insects and spiders) until they can feed themselves. Then she shoos them off to find their own territories.
After the first year, you can't look at the bird and tell how old it is, they all look pretty much the same. The average age is 3 to 4 years old, but there are records of 7 year old birds and even at least one at 9 years, amazing. If a bird has been banded, the information about when and where is in a database, so if a bird is recaptured, it is also possible to get an idea of their age and travels.

photo by: Kevin In September with my little brother Kevin as the Inspector and myself and G as the main crew we renovated the west wing of the basement (a large room with full window and double door to back yard and a 10x20 area divided into a new kitchen and bathroom) which I have named The Base Station. After throwing out half the stuff stored in the room and moving the rest into the laundry room and the 2 other bedrooms and hallway in the basement we proceeded to gut down to the cement and cinder block, replumb, rewire, restud, drywall. mud, paint and finish and furnish (thanks to craigslist) what is now a pretty sweet property upgrade/rent-able apartment in my parents house and a base station for me while I figure out about student debt, finishing school, transferring programs etc. What was originally going to be a one month process of cleaning the room quickly became a 3 months project as we started to peel back the layers of the space that hasn't been used in many years finding mold and drainage problems... Kevin joked the term for this in engineering world is scope creep, when the scope of the project creeps larger and larger. For his birthday in mid-Nov I got him some coveralls and made this screenprint for our construction crew. Base Station Renovation Fall 2012
In a park near my home, there is a narrow trail that connects two parts of the large valley park. I love taking walk here to have fun with manual and vintage lenses.

The second Mech I post on Flickr is Scope Dog Custom.
I tried to make 'Scope Dog' with the original. But the other Armored Troopers were cool too and mixed together at once.
So I named it 'Scope Dog Custom.'
The head and legs are referred to as 'Scope Dog' and 'Shadow Flare' etc.
I also expressed the folding shape which is characteristic of the Armored Trooper. This was a very laborious task, which made it less durable.
I will continue to modify this 'AT' and improve the details.
Thank you.
Just some more mods. Switched the attachments on the Hac and Arc. This wasn't as easy as I thought it would be, but I like the results. Also, a preview of my (possible) entry for the Toywiz spokesfigure contest.
