This is the same picture as the first version…but it has been reworked…with Disenchanted’s help…..Thank you soooo much for the help!! He is awesome..and a great sport for helping me….I am a beginner with editing techniques…=) I am speculating..with Erin’s help once again that this is a female Ruby Throated Hummingbird..I am not 100 percent certain about that…
This is a female ruby-throated Hummingbird and where I live in Eastern Texas they are very common throughout the summer and fall..and they vsit my Mothers feeders every year… / Thanks / Suni
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
Please no hate mail, its a reptile person joke. If you don’t get it you have never owned over a hundred (or over a thousand in my case) snakes.
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..;)
This little guy was playing acrobat while having his breakfast. :o) / Taken just outside my back door.
a little photoshop magic places the two combatants side by side, which never happens in real life.
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.
ANOTHER HORROR OFFERING FOR YOUR PLEASURE FROM THE MIND OF M.R.D. comments from rb on previous work: / I’m writing about one of your works on RedBubble,”MEAT I” At RedBubble we try to allow the maximum creative expression but there are boundaries that we are obliged by law to comply with and our own moral desire for RedBubble to be a positive and supportive environment for all artists. I’m sure that you would not be looking to offend anyone with this work and we understand that how an artist intends a work and how it is perceived can be very different. While we allow a number of somewhat ‘provocative’ works on the site, we need to draw the line at anything with themes of sexualized violence or that is found otherwise objectionable . For this reason we have taken the decision to de-publish this particular work.
the brilliant male cardinal paid another visit to the feeder today. I never tire of seeing this magnificent cresture, nor tire of photographing it. Every shot is different and unique, I love the way he fanned out his tail, cocked his head, as if to say, “take this shot!” /
It truly is, but with a bit of a perspective ‘twist’ (as usual ;-)

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
A Hummingbird’s flight speed can average 25-30 mph, and can dive up to 60 mph. Their wings can flutter/beat 60-80 times a second. More facts are shown on other hummingbird images. Thank you for viewing.
Hummingbird wings beat 60 to 80 times per SECOND! / AVERAGE AGE: Most hummingbirds die within their first year; those that don’t probably live an average of 3 years or so. You can see the different levels of the wings fluttering at the speed of lightening.

a gorgeous male goldfinch sits on a branch near the niger feeder, waiting his turn at the feeder. The male goldfinch will lose his bright ye;;ow plummage in early fall, turning to a greenish-yellow feather color. Come spring, he will once again don his golden feathers. camera used is Olympus E-3
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.
a black-capped chickadee strikes a most handsome pose, stopping on a pine bough to overlook the sunflower seed feeder. Normally, they don’t sit long enough to get a good shot, but today, he decided to give me a break. /
a femal northern cardinal braves a snow storm to visit the suet feeder for a quick snack. Cardinals are jearty birds, able to withstand cold winters. It is helpful to have large pine trees nearby to afford them shelter during the coldspell, pine trees will surely sttract them,.
a male cardinal, brilliant in red, has hgis big bright eyes on the lookout for predators. Cardinals love to sit in the pine tree to check the sunflower seed feeder for safety before coming in to feed. This affords an excellent opportunity for some candid, closeup shots. I love the way the pine needles frame the cardinal, and radiate out from him.
