Hummers and Ospreys

[coastalconn]

A few shots from this morning. I don't see hummingbirds very often, but I was hanging out in a salt marsh in some tall reeds and noticed some activity in the bushes.. Clipped the whites a bit in the first one. They didn't stick around too long... comments welcome and thanks for looking

It's image #3 for me Kris. I mean one gets tired of osprey images (yawn) - just kidding, never get tired of your postings of these birds.

I find it tough to get shots of the lil hummingbirds in flight.. But it doesn't stop me from trying.. I've been waiting for one to fly to the flowers on the porch this morning.. But so far.. He/she's a no show.. I'm sure one will make appearance right after i put down my camera for my coffee..

And of course, the Osprey's are awesome! I need to make time towhead out to the Osprey nest near my place to see if the youngsters are learning how to fish for themselves...

I like 3 and 4. The expressions are cute especially of the osprey. The osprey has the look of, "Oh, oh hand (claw) caught in the cookie jar"

Very nice! I love the expression in #4. hehe I got a good giggle out of that.

Beautiful as always Kris but #4 needs a caption

Why is that bush wearing a fish hat and pointing a camera at me ???
