YEAH THE KIND OF FRIGGAN CAMERA THAT THE subject
LETS CALL IT A STUNNED BIRD

is so close to the lense it MAKES it look like i have an expensive
zoom lens when its NOT.........

a neat trick only

Funny, I was wondering how you got so close!

-spence

That bird was very stunned, I hope it makes it.

hell YES!!!!
 

No Shaman incantations?

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....

my inner chakra just exploded

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

you sure you were not going CLOCKWISE?

OMG..... :grins: you send him to Australia MATE

Have yet to see the black robin since the last sighting.Still can't get over seeing that.Tons of hummers though.

darn
 

i have hardly any hummers and i'm very un Happy about it....
just one ruby throat at 8:30 pm

maybe i should put all the feeders in the SHADE :huh:
outside of the north facing window
i think i'll try that.... next.:uhuh:

i am gonna plant a million flowers now !
i'm so PISSED :fury:
i'll have them in my friggan green house then :jump1:

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.

I'll bet you have lots of red flowers!

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

-spence

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

do all the babies have little one legs too ? :rotflmao:

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!

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

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!

If you're looking for cheaper prices for birdseed, check out Ocean State Job Lot.
They have 50lb. blackoil sunflower seed and 25lb. thistle for $20.00 each.
They also can have cheaper prices for suet (when the season calls for it) as well.

Just a little FYI.

went there
 

sold out in west boro

Probably not uncommon, I just never saw it before. Easily 5 times recently hummingbirds have shown up at my feeder and landed on the feeder or the iron post that it hangs from, stopped flying and perched for a bit.

COOL but not so Cool

oont ya

Couple pictures from this morning. The goldfinches are around all the time, but I wasn't out more than 2-3min when the hummer showed up!

finally have two hummingbirds fighting over the front feeder
and with the cooler mornings ->feeding at 15 minute intervals

my smaller sunflower seed feeders are emptied every other day by those goldfinches
and the RBG's, goin thru prolly a quart of seed .... they's a munchin

will do experiment.... 2nite .....and fill it at midnite to see if some 4 leggers are helpin

they are sure eating my big tomato's --> bastids

Nice shots,PRB. :btu:

Rav, do you have any problems with bears knocking down
your feeders?

nope just damned racoons in the corn thus far,
but i just harvested it all so that ends that...
we ate some raw its so sweet...steaming some now for lunch

what a mess they make of it
....and hard to catch them in the act too....

because i'd chase em down with my old fashion weed slicer
shaped like a golf putter....
and lop their heads clean off...
next year!..... i'll have sleigh bells in the corn :uhuh:

i need a Super sharp samurai sword -LOL

hummingbirds everywhere now !!
 

finally got up to speed here
the hummingbird flower mix is now in full bloom
the seed mixture is most excellent i must say

now i have 3-4-5-6 :huh: battling for turns....

wicked cool because i'll be standing there watering the flowers
and the hummers go into hover mode with their tail feathers
fully spread (full flaps) and lookin large.....as they kinda "moon walk"
in forward motion every so slowly waiting to chase off the intruders

Nice shot Rav, :btu:

Amazing, their beaks are larger than their heads a this point.

Great pic... That nest looks like a lot of work...

what will the be when they grow up?

doh!!! :wall: Robins -> there ............Tin Man :uhuh:

yeah
 

shocked the Sh1T outta me.... it was an amazing piece of construction i thought.
"precise mud work" like stucco
i hadn't been down there much.....
for say 2 1/2 weeks after straining my back..

(from carrying my table saw upstairs from the cellar... 2 days later i go hunched over)

the place was over grown allot ...so much so i had to weed whack the whole area again... :doh:

and suddenly i see the nest... oh great! i said...reaching in to feel for eggs
~ and there was already one....
otherwise, i would of moved it to the outside of the structure.

Like how do I know that, tinfoil boy

Interesting site yesterday in Quick's Hole: thousands of swallows hanging around and flying over the water. Didn't really see any fishing....I've attached a video but you really can't see any details of the birds: the bright, flashing spots above the water. What you can see is the relative roughness of the conditions and this was not the rip area!

I always enjoy watching the southern hawk migration.
