More Hummer shots, but they will be gone soon. When the go-go juice hits cold—and your feathers file an immediate complaint. *Ruby-throated hummer #birds

Excuse me… you did say this was an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet, correct? *Osprey #birds #raptors

Watch, wait, attack! The rain doesn't slow the chaos! #birds

“A Study in Rain” Every drop brings a new pose—first the careful inspection, then a graceful stretch, and finally the tiny wings open to embrace the storm. #birds

That awkward moment when the bath is colder than expected and your dignity leaves before your feathers dry. A hummingbird’s version of: “I meant to do that.” #birds

Listen, Gladys—I don’t care what the feeder rules say. This go-go juice is under new management.” Two tiny birds, two enormous attitudes, and absolutely no interest in peaceful negotiations. #birds

For one brief moment, the yard grew quiet—and she hovered among the light like a tiny jewel with wings. #birds

The girls have arrived! Let the chaos continue, =) She may look sweet and innocent sitting there—but somewhere nearby, another hummingbird has already been served an eviction notice. #birds

Six Frames, Zero Manners Apparently, “Wait your turn” is not part of a hummer's etiquette. One was enjoying a quiet drink. The other arrived with complaints. All this fury over sugar water. #birds

I don’t have an attitude. I have excellent eyesight and very low tolerance. *Cooper's Hawk #birds #raptors

En garde! Apparently feeder etiquette is no longer being observed. *Ruby-throated Hummingbirds #birds

You really want to do this? Is exactly what he was saying, the older male doesn't play, the youngster left and the old guy continued sitting, lol. *Ruby-throated Hummingbird #birds

I would like to speak to whoever is responsible for refilling this feeder. *Ruby-throated Hummingbird #birds

Talk to the foot! Apparently when you're a hummer, grabbing your opponent by the beak with one foot is considered a perfectly reasonable way to settle a disagreement. *Ruby-throated Hummingbirds #birds

Just a lovely shot of this Gulf Fritillary. #insects #butterflies

The Blue Grosbeak was nabbing the tall grass seed. #birds

Spied this Anole running the branches, he was a tiny fellow. #reptiles

Spied the Pileated Woodpecker on a snag today. #birds

Neighborhood Watch We don't know what you're doing over there… but we're both judging it. *Immature Little Blue Herons #birds

Reflection There are moments in nature that don't ask for attention. They simply reward you for noticing. *White Egret #birds

Walking on Water… Almost. One careful step, one dangling drop, and apparently somewhere very important to be. *Glossy Ibis #birds

Just loosening up before I go chase everybody away from MY feeder. #birds

Sometimes the smallest visitors are the ones that make you stop and look the longest. #birds

When you're three inches tall, every raindrop is a weather event. #birds

“And for my next performance…” The rarely seen Hummingbird Rain Dance. No tickets required, but nectar donations are appreciated. #birds

“When the rain hits just right…” Tiny wings out, eyes closed, and absolutely no intention of dealing with anybody today. #birds

New visitor to the yard, a Broad-winged Hawk. They are beginning their pre-migratory movement. The massive flocks travel down the Central American land corridor. It takes them roughly 60 to 90 days in total to complete the grueling 4,300+ mile journey to South America. #birds #raptors

First rule of Hummingbird Fight Club: "Nobody shares the feeder". Apparently the feeder has a strict one hummingbird at a time policy, and these two have very different opinions about whose turn it is. One came in for lunch. The other came in looking for trouble. #birds

“I am warning you for the LAST TIME.” Approximately four grams of bird. Approximately forty pounds of attitude. #birds

All 14 are still learning the ropes, I think 2 of them were out of frame, but they were all hanging on the shore and was able to get a good shot of how big they are getting. #birds
