This squirrel decided to get inside a ceramic bird feeder, it looked very funny with it’s tail sticking out the other hole. See my other squirrel image / Watching
Ivan is rapidly growing up, now has at least 4 red feathers on his throat. He will become a very handsome young man, and certainly heir to the throne.
The big guy came in today and stayed for quite a while at the suet feeder, even though I was steadily snapping photos of him. He certainly got his belly full of suet before he departed. / Camera: E-3, shutter speed 1/125 sec., f/4.5, focal length 200mm, ISO 200

A fox squirrel struggles to climb the pergola after raiding the bird feeder in Eugene, Oregon. January 2009.
A hummingbird is seldom still; I’ve been watching birds for a long time, but I’ve never seen a more energetic, feisty, restless species than the hummer. This particular ruby-throated hummingbird is fluttering its wings threateningly before buzzing into a high speed chase to ward off competitors from its food source. I’ve even witnessed these tiny mites chasing cardinals which are MUCH larger than they are, yet they are fearless!
Even in a snow strom, the cardinal couple comes to dine at the Radosevich restaurant, / The northern cardinalis a hearty bird, able to survive the harsh winters in the north. The are quite adaptable, able to live in a variety of habitats, including in close proximity to humans. The are quite fond of seeds, especially sunflower seeds, and they also eat tons of insects. /
Featured in Canon DSLR – May 31, 2009 / Featured in I Love Birds – May 27, 2009 The Ruby-throated Hummingbird Archilochus colubris is the most common and widely distributed of the hummingbirds in Canada. From the tip of its bill to the tip of its tail it measures from 7.5 cm to slightly more than 9 cm. No larger than a good-sized insect, it is often confused with hawk moths, especially at dusk, as these moths are similar in size, form, and flight. The male Ruby-throated Hummingbird is shiny metallic green above, greyish white below, and has a forked tail. He wears a splendid gorget, or throat patch, of silky, ruby red feathers, which sometimes appear orange, or even jet black, depending on the light. The female is similar but has a greyish-white throat patch. Her tail is rounded, and some of the outer tail feathers are marked with white spots. These she often displays when posturing and in flight. The Ruby-throated Hummingbird’s bill is long, straight, and almost as slender as a darning needle. / Canada has five species of hummingbirds. Of these, only the Ruby-throated Hummingbird is found in the east. It inhabits Nova Scotia (including Cape Breton Island), New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, southern Quebec, and Ontario north to Lake Nipigon and Lake of the Woods. It ranges westward through southern Manitoba, central Saskatchewan, and central and southeastern Alberta. / Lots more interesting information here: / / / Photographed at the Oriole feeder in my yard / Canon 50D; Sigma 150-500mm lens / Shutter speed 1/2048 / Lens Aperture F/6.4 / Focal length 500mm / Exposure time 1/2000 / ISO 640

two male northern cardinals visit the sunflower seed feeder, and wait on the pine branch until a blue jay vacates the feeder. In the past, the male cardinals drive each other away from the feeder, being quite protective of the feeder. For some reason, I have four or five male cardinals visit the feeder together this year, and are happy to share. /

Love my hummingbirds, they come to the feeder so many times each day, I never get tired of them, and I have three different ones at the moment, and will have many more by the beginning of June.. ;) I name this one Candy..;)
It truly is, but with a bit of a perspective ‘twist’ (as usual ;-)
