Boating again…..I posted pictures and a video on my boating blog www.alwayslingerawhile.blogspot.com of a Yellow Crowned Night Heron and her 2 little ones on 5.21.10 and pictures and video of an Osprey on her nest with 2 little ones on 5.25.10
Thanks for stopping by. Should be back home shortly.
I got all excited today….I saw something buzzing around my newly set up bee hive…..so I grabbed my camera and headed out back…..
Unfortunately it was not a Honey Bee….but a female Blue Dasher.
So I started following her round the yard. She finally landed on the remnants of a jasmine bush.
Once she started posing for me it was hard to stop snapping away.
The light reflecting off her wings show beautiful colors as if thru a prism…but I couldn’t capture it …she’s a pretty little thing though…..
Not as stunning as the Eastern Amberwing I managed to catch last year…(June…Dragonfly?) but still beautiful.
I have seen this Pileated Woodpecker in the driveway several times. I toss Babe’s (my Lovebird) oyster shell out there for the birds to pick over. I wonder if that’s what she’s after.
This is a very big bird….about 12” tall. Very beautiful
I took these pictures from the video at the end.
I am sure there is one nesting in an old tree out back.
