A hummingbird on a horizontal branch. It is a shiny green color with aa violet patch below the eye and going back. It is posed with its body towards the camera, but its head turned to our right a bit, giving a view of its slightly curved black beak.

Back to mid July when I spent a few early mornings at a marsh with a Sora family. Dad had just caught a dragonfly nymph, sprinted back, and fed the babies. But two babies both grabbed the nymph and ran away with it together! Dad seems just as interested as I as to how this would turn out! #Birds 🪶

A Sora adult with its mottled brown feathers, black mask and candy corn bill, stands in a marsh with brown and green reeds. His back is to us and his head is turned as he watches two of his fluffy black chicks run away together, both holding tightly with their beaks to a big juicy dragonfly nymph that dad had just fed them.

I'm sad to say that the pole normally included in bird pictures at one of the creeks where we have dinner is no more. It ate the biscuit.

The same pole today. The wind today are 15-20 mph and the creek is very rough.
