Los colibríes son una presencia constante en mi jardín, este pequeñito de la foto es un Colibrí bronceado, una de las varias especies que puedo ver en esta zona. Es el único que se queda todo el año mientras que los otros emigran hacia zonas mas cálidas durante el invierno. Me cuesta mucho tomarle fotos a estas hermosas aves, aunque son muy confiadas y están habituadas a verme ya que diariamente lleno su bebedero con agua azucarada (y a veces ni esperan a que lo cuelgue para comenzar a libar!) Sin embargo cuando me ven con la cámara huyen.. no sé por qué! Espero poder tomar mejores fotos pronto!
Hasta la próxima!
They're beautiful creatures. We have one resident and a couple of migrating species in my area of Southern California and they're also very difficult to catch on camera!
ResponderEliminarI love humminbirds, I can't imagine my garden without these little birds. This gilded humminbird is the only year round resident, but in the spring and summer other species visit my garden such as the white-throated and the glittering-bellied emerald. Some exceptional guests are the strange black jacobin and the blue-tufted starthroat.
ResponderEliminarI never saw a colibri in free nature. How nice that it spends the whole year in your garden. I am sure you have a wonderful garden otherwise the colibri and all the other animals wouldn't come to you.
ResponderEliminarYes Sigrid they are wonderful creatures, I love seeing birds, bees, butterflies and toads in my garden. thanks for visiting, wish you a great weekend!
EliminarPerhaps they see the camera as a predator's eye?
ResponderEliminarWe have sunbirds - move so fast that they are very hard to capture - altho our birds are a little larger and perch instead of hovering.
Diana, thanks for visiting! Sunbirds seem to be ecological equivalents of the Hummingbirds in Africa, both are beautiful creatures! I should try to take pictures of hummingbirds with a different camera, maybe its silver color scares them! I really appreciate your blog because it shows gardening in a similar latitude and I imagine our climates aren't very different. Have a great sunday!
EliminarLovely photos. I so wish we had hummingbirds. :)
ResponderEliminarHappy Sunday!
So very sweet. I only wish that the humming birds in my garden didn't spend so much time fighting with each other.
ResponderEliminarthey fight a lot here too, these cute little birds are very territorial!
