I might challenge your ID! Did you look up the range map for the Arctic Warbler? If it really is you'll have every Audubon member in your back yard (assumption is that is where these pictures were taken).

That third pic showing the red eye leads me to ID as a Red Eyed Vireo (Vireo olivaceus), most abundant bird in e. deciduous forests.

I think that's your positive ID.

The green color and hook at the end of the beak give it away.

We do get some weird accidentals around here (my best is a Red Phalarope in Tiverton) but that bird would really be off course!

it seemed much smaller to me.... and I didn't have time
to compare it to the red eye...but logic dictates that your correct.

the red eye is 5.5 - to 6.5 inches long and this bird was quite small
because i held in my hand

and they think it's not even there

i revived him with my chi force
until he flew back to the other blue spruce.

during the interim i took some real nice close up shots

No Shaman incantations?

Raven 07-02-2010 10:01 AM

none needed
 
JUST charge your hands...

and do circles over your PATIENT palm facing downwards
counter clockwise
whether it be plant or animal

and energize them with your chi force....

doesn't work until you AMP up your chi...

so first you feel the AIR as if it were WATER
a combination of "like" treading water and tai chi

breathing in VERY deeply....

and gather the chi right out of the air...

until you build up a charge...

then transfer it to you patient

works like a charm....

striperman36 07-02-2010 10:02 AM

my inner chakra just exploded

I think I just electrocuted my patient with a static electric charge! Maybe I over energized my chi...:)

Not using any feeders whatsoever,just flowers.Lots of flowers.

Jane's the gardener.When she gets off work I'll ask her exactly what they all are.

PRBuzz 07-02-2010 05:01 PM

I'll bet you have lots of red flowers!

spence 07-02-2010 08:39 PM

Had a hummingbird sitting on the power line a few weeks ago.

justplugit 07-02-2010 09:15 PM

No hummers, but my one legged Downy Woodpecker is back
at the feeder with her young.
Talk about adaptability. :)

Nope, doesn't seem to be in the genes Rav, but i sure
would like to know what happened to her other leg.

She hops up trees as good as a two legger. :D

Really amazing!

harritchate 07-03-2010 11:11 AM

plant a butterfly bush for the hummingbirds. My parents have one at their house and it has humming birds at it all day. The butterfly bush grows to over 7 feet tall each year and is covered in purple flowers, they just cut it down at the end of the year and it comes back thicker and thicker

basswipe 07-03-2010 01:17 PM

Jane's not around at the moment but what harrichate said...butterfly bush.

We have so many different kinds of flowers around the house but there are two that seem to attract...one is hanging basket with tons of small bright red flowers and the others are tall green plants with one big orange flower on top.I'm not sure if that helps you or not Raven.

Hopefully she's back before I get to deep into tonight's race!
