Anna’s Hummingbird feeding her 9-10 days old chicks. Such a caring Mother and wonderful to see them growing!

Prints, Cards etc. ez-lorenz.pixels.com/featured/

Nesting season is here!
Peeking through the evergreen branches in the breeze, it's a treat to see these adorable, 9-10 days old Anna's Hummingbird chicks in their tiny nest, in their natural habitat with their protective, caring mother perched at the edge of the nest and even more special to capture their feeding.
The nestlings are growing strong day by day. Their eyes are already opened and can regulate their body temperature, so mom spends more time away from the nest, looking for insects for her babies as a great protein source. She usually returns and feed them in every 45 minutes.

            These New Zealand kākāpƍ chicks the Dunedin Wildlife Hospital vet team are hand-rearing are growing so fast.
            They're in the process of learning how to eat leaves and berries and exploring bigger spaces. It is essential that they learn how to forage and eat leaves and berries so that they thrive once weaned and released back into the wild. Still a long way to go however these two are making great progress 💚💚

              Good morning. ☕☕☕

              30 May 2026

              I remember when telephones with push‑buttons started showing up. They looked so modern, so futuristic, like something out of a science‑fiction movie. If you had one sitting on your desk, you must have been somebody — even though, at first, they didn’t really do anything the old rotary phones couldn’t do. I still wonder why we started with a dial instead of buttons in the first place. I don’t wonder long, though. It had to be whatever the technology of the time could manage.

              When I was a small child living with my grandparents — my parents were off at the Great Lakes while my dad went through Navy training — I had to memorize their phone number. To this day, it still doesn’t make sense to me. It was “Sycamore 5‑2453.” Try dialing that into a phone today. There have been a few changes since then.

              And isn’t it funny that after all these years, after all the technical leaps that led to the cell phones we carry in our back pockets, we still say we’re “dialing” a number? I’m sure plenty of young people don’t even know what that means. I’ve seen clips online where teenagers are handed an old rotary phone and look as confused as I’d be if someone handed me a crank‑and‑jar churn. I wouldn’t know its purpose, let alone how to use it.

              Makes you wonder what the next fifty years will bring. I’m certain of one thing: nobody will be running down to the telegraph office. And someday, even cell phones will go the way of buggy whips.

              The Sparrow Who Looked Down

"Three house sparrows perch together on a smooth metal pipe, silhouetted against a soft, open sky. Their tiny bodies form a loose row, but each bird’s posture — and each one’s imagined line of dialogue — gives them a distinct personality, as if they’re actors in a small, feathered play.

The left sparrow stands upright and slightly angled toward the center bird. Its feathers are warm brown and softly patterned, and its posture feels calm, almost admiring. Hovering above it is a gentle thought: “He is so smart and brave.” The bird seems to be watching the one beside it with quiet confidence, as though impressed by a friend’s courage.

The center sparrow, a male with a bold dark bib and a gray crown, stands tall and steady. His chest is puffed just enough to suggest pride or determination. Above him floats the line: “The trick is to not look down.” His stance matches the words — he looks like the self‑appointed leader of this tiny trio, offering advice with theatrical seriousness.

The right sparrow leans forward dramatically, its head dipped and body angled downward as if peering over the edge of the pipe. Its feathers are soft brown, and its posture radiates sudden worry. Above it, a panicked thought bubble reads: “Oh no! I looked down! What happens now?” The bird’s body language perfectly matches the anxious humor of the line — a moment of comic regret perched on a narrow metal stage." - Microsoft Copilot

                            I just finished reading an interesting article in about recent research on bird eyes. Unlike our inferior mammal eyes, bird eyes lack the network of blood vessels covering the retina. When an optometrist shines a bright light in our eyes, we see a network of blood vessels that block parts of our vision. Sleight of hand from our brain removes this from our perception, but it permanently limits what we see.

                            Birds retinas don’t do this at all, and it turns out that this is made possible by using a form of glucose-driven metabolism that doesn’t require oxygen. That’s crazy for such an energy intensive tissue. No other species alive today do this, and it likely evolved in dinosaurs.

                            It’s wild stuff.

                                "Ruby-Throated Hummingbird in Mid-Flight

This captivating photograph captures a remarkable moment in the life of a ruby-throated hummingbird. The bird, suspended in mid-air, exhibits its graceful flight and intricate features. Let’s delve into the specifics:

The ruby-throated hummingbird is a small, agile creature with vibrant plumage. Its body showcases a striking contrast of colors: emerald, green on the upper side and pristine white on the underparts. The iridescence of its green feathers catches the light, creating a shimmering effect. The bird’s wings, extended fully, reveal translucent primary feathers that allow sunlight to filter through. Its long, slender beak extends forward from its small head, ready to probe flowers for nectar. The beak’s precision and delicacy are evident even in this frozen moment.

In-flight, the hummingbird hovers effortlessly, its wings beating rapidly—up to 80 times per second! The blurred background hints at the bird’s swift movement. Its eye appears focused and alert, a testament to its keen awareness of its surroundings. Perhaps it has spotted a hidden flower or a potential mate nearby.

The photographer skillfully captured this fleeting moment, freezing the hummingbird’s flight against a soft, blurred backdrop. The shades of red and white in the background add to the overall aesthetic. The composition draws attention to the bird’s form, emphasizing its elegance and energy.

                                  I looked out the window this morning and spotted an egret across the grassy field, so I grabbed my camera and headed out, moving slowly and snapping as I went, trying to get as close as I could. After my third stop I spooked the bird, and that brief moment gave me this image. The bird is a western cattle egret (Bubulcus ibis), hunting in one of the low spots where water flows after a rain. In those shallow, muddy areas, crayfish often build little towers of mud — and I think the egrets consider that a pretty decent buffet.

The bird’s feathers are smooth and bright, with a faint wash of warm buff coloring the top of its head and the front of its chest — like a soft sunrise brushed across snow.

Its beak is a rich, weathered orange, straight and sharp, and its yellow eyes hold a calm, steady focus, as if it’s listening to something only it can hear. Pinkish legs disappear into the grass, where tiny droplets of water cling to each blade and catch the light like scattered beads of glass.

                                    24 May 2026

                                    Hmm
 I still have a hoodie draped over the back of my side chair. I should probably hang it in the closet, because I definitely won’t have the urge to grab it on the way out the door for a few months. It is still spring, though, and there could always be an odd temperature drop. We’ve lived in Louisiana for well over twenty years now, and I don’t recall any freezing temperatures in May — but it did get close in 2019, on May 4th, when the temperature dropped to a frigid 34°F. This late in May, though, I think it’s safe to put my hoodie away.

                                    Uh‑oh, it’s time to feed Charlie. I’ll be back.

                                    Charlie and I are baching it for a while. My wife is away. We’d only been home from our trips to Arkansas and Oklahoma for six days when an early‑morning call had her packing again. She headed out yesterday morning for Mobile, Alabama. We tried to board Charlie so I could go with her, but being Memorial Day weekend — and on such short notice — that plan fell flat.

                                    It was tragedy that sent my wife rushing off. A young niece lost her husband just after giving birth to their daughter. I won’t share the details, but it was sudden and completely unexpected — the kind of loss that hits with a “this can’t be real” shock that knocks a person’s world apart. My wife went to be by her side, to help her navigate the aftermath of this terrible, terrible event, and to try to assuage the anguish in our niece’s heart.

                                    Life is thinner than we like to admit. One moment you’re moving through the small routines of an ordinary day, and the next, everything tilts. It doesn’t take much — a phone call, a breath, a heartbeat — for the whole world to change. That’s the fragile truth of it, and all we can do is hold on to each other while we have the chance.

"A single rock pigeon hangs in mid‑flight against a wide, cloudless blue sky. Its wings are stretched to their fullest span, each feather sharply defined. Because of the angle of the sun, the bird’s normally gray wings blaze with an unexpected golden glow, as if lit from within. The light turns the edges of the feathers into thin, bright filaments, giving the pigeon an almost mythical shimmer.

The bird’s body remains true to its natural colors—soft gray, charcoal, and white—creating a striking contrast between the familiar and the surreal. Its eye is crisp and alert, catching a pinpoint of light. The pigeon’s posture suggests a moment of effortless glide, frozen in time, suspended between wingbeats. The background is a pure, uninterrupted blue, making the glowing wings stand out even more dramatically.

The overall impression is of an ordinary bird transformed by light into something rare and radiant." - Microsoft Copilot

                                      For for , we've got to include the most accomplished duetters in Aotearoa: the kƍkako.

                                      My wife made this recording of a pair of North Island kƍkako duetting near Lake Rotoehu in the Bay of Plenty.

                                      Kƍkako pair for life and sing a haunting, almost whale-like duet, to strengthen their pair bond and announce their territory to neighbouring birds.

                                      1. Vagabond son & DIL sent me the photo below of a black-footed albatross, seen from their Caribbean cruise. (Closest I’ll ever get to that magical species.)
                                      2. Heard the first trills from our neighborhood mockingbird yesterday. This one sounds has a particularly sophisticated repertoire, with brilliant clarity.
                                      3. Fave dinner last night: halibut & yams; yum!

                                      Brilliant blue ocean with many waves and just dots of foam, foam and a black-footed albatross soaring just above the sea. The large bird is colored in shades of beige with a dark head & tail. These birds are smaller compared to most of the albatross family, but their wingspan still measures 6-7 feet. They are one of the three species of albatross that make their home in the Northern hemisphere.

                                            It pops in every now and again, but always too quick for me to get a pic. As much as I love watching all the birds that come to feed, I somehow feel especially privileged to see this little fella ❀

A little robin sits on a branch and looks to the right. The background is abstract in light blue with loose brushstrokes and splashes of colour. The orange-red breast of the little bird stands out as an eye-catcher for the viewer due to the color contrast with the background.
