NEW BIRD! New for this year, at least.![]()
The first Ruby-Throated Hummingbird!

“This blog is rather like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” - Fr. Z

Sweet! He must not mind the cool weather. Well, it’s on the cold side here in MD, 50 degrees, clouds and rain. Glad you’ve got yourself a real live hummer. Yours is much more fuel efficient.
Wow! What a great picture! Hummingbirds are such fast little things! One blur and they’re off!
It looks either real hungry or real mad that you’re photographing it!
Wonderful photo!
That’s a great photograph, Father!
I want that new lens so badly for my Nikon! lol
