Getting face-to-face with a male Calliope Hummingbird who we affectionately call “Tiny”.
As in…… hey, Tiny is here, when we see them perched in the trees or at the hummingbird feeders.
Calliopes are smallest bird around yet unmatched in energy, spunk and attitude and this guy was no exception especially. Especially on attitude.
Named after Calliope the muse of eloquence and epic poetry “Tiny” is poetry indeed.
Beautiful shot of an adorable subject!
Hi is our hero.
Wonderful capture of Tiny’s glorious throat! Such a wonder of nature.
Hi Ellen, hummingbirds are indeed a marvel of natures process. Just to think he will soon fly 5,000 miles.
They sure are, I guess that trip ahead of him is why he wants to leave now! They know a whole lot more than we humans about keeping safe.
HI Ellen, yes the amount of wisdom and knowledge we could glean from a hummingbirds brain. Just think of all the information they have about flying stored in there. Amazing.
Glorious indeed! Marvelous shot of his shining attributes. 🙂
Hi Eliza, his trout is so beautiful when the light is right.
😍
Thanks.
Incredible.
We agree and a very appropriate use of the word incredible.
How sweet!
He sure is.
