Young hummingbird

One of my hobbies, besides woodworking, is being a bird voyeur. I sneak up on them and snap their photograph. Much like the papparazzi following Hollywood movie stars. It doesn't matter if I catch them taking a bath, eating, or just minding their business. Maybe I need a better hobby.

Whaddyamean you have time for other hobbies besides woodworking!!! :wink: :D

So, are you going to turn your photos of these beautiful winged creatures into woodwork art in some way??? (in other words, I'd love to see more photos please :B )

cheers

c'mon Wendy, some of us blokes CAN do 2 things at a time ... even though our reputations often suggest that one of those 2 things is only breathing,

Australia is host to some very exotic looking birds!

You folks are lucky to have such beautiful birds to observe!

Here all we get are pigeons and crows :-. At least the crows are interesting and smart.

We get lots of the Red Rumps around here, they come and pinch the small gravel on the drive way for their crop. :o

Glad to find out there are some more shutterbugs out there. Some of us have low thresholds of bordom and take on hobbies other than woodworking. I would show some of my photos but have yet to figure out how to attach images that aren't in a URL.

Now are there any cooks out there? I've got some great cajun recipes!

How rare is that PTC!! Plover chicks.

Been swooped many a time by plovers, but never once did I manage to see their nest or chicks. Thanks
