I always have my camera ready near the birdfeeders because you never know what will go down on a day to day basis:) Today I was finally able to capture the Verdin and Anna's Hummer together on the feeder!!! Last time I tried to do this, there wasn't any memory card! PS. I'm still catching up with everyone, and I promise I'll be stopping by soon. Love all your stories and pics but I have to give the eyes a rest each night and time to absorb all your experiences.
The Verdin flies in first. And then several of our hummers see this guy and say, "Oooh heck no!" But wait, "He's not a hummer. I can't chase him off!"
And so "Sharing is loving." or "Loving is sharing." Either way, they were so cute on the feeder together.
And of course, lots more to come. Until next time.....

The times I've forgotten the memory card. Should be called a forget card.
ReplyDeleteVery nice pictures Chris...... good work
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Joop
What a gorgeous bird that Verdin is. And LOL at Adrian's comment :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots of the hummers and verdin. I am going to have to add the Verdin to my most want to see list. It is a beautiful bird. Great post, have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteThat's kool. I've been following someone who has an Mojave Acorn Woodpecker who visits his in Joshua Tree. I'm used to Hooded Orioles visiting my old feeders.
ReplyDelete-
Well done on getting the Verdin and hummer on the same frame! As for forgetting memory cards - best not go there!!!
ReplyDeleteThis was like winning the double powerball!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots! I want that kitty.
ReplyDeleteI have done that too...forgot the memory card..hee hee
ReplyDeleteDo you have a tripod set up at the window?
and may I say...you gave me a huge laugh with the puss face
so true
J'ai passé un temps très agréable sur ton blog dont j'apprécie la qualité des photos et du contenu.
ReplyDeleteBelle fin de journée à toi.

The kitty is adorable. The shots of the birds are perfect.
ReplyDeletethe verdin is so cute!
ReplyDeleteCuteness overload! Verdin and hummer together at the same feeder and cat with flowers portrait, fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWhat's the chance of them both being at the feeder at the same time - great shot! Somehow I don't think the cat's definition of sharing will be the same as the Verdin and hummer's :)
ReplyDeleteDiane's right...I need to check my blood sugar! :) I have both come to my feeders too, but I've never been lucky enough to get a shot with both of them in it. Great job!
ReplyDeleteNice picture of pussy with bouquet. She looked haughty and all fired up.
ReplyDeleteI remember the memory card but forget to charge the batteries.
ReplyDeleteLove the scene at your feeder. I have ocassionally seen some of the small birds at the hummingbird feeder, looking confused.
It's close up to see the Verdin, the first of many I suggest. Great photos, and there is a cat, snarl, it's a killer of finer the birds.
ReplyDeletelol! so cute portrait of kitty!
ReplyDeletehe's so serious...

Only once did I catch a non-hummer at the feeder and the photo is shit. Can't even tell what it was. These are great!
ReplyDeleteWow, how cool to see these two species together, even better to get a photo! Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteHi Chris, Another great set of pictures.... Love your kitty too.... What is his/her name???? CUTE!!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like 'life' has interrupted your blogging like it has mine. I've been so busy --and there's never enough time to comment... AND--I'm getting ready to take a blog break....Whew!!!!

Hi there!!! No it has been crazy. I think I've caught up.....BUT I have some new people to meet tonight. Thanks again for your vinegar suggestion....what a difference it has made for me. What an improvement. Enjoy your blogger break....it's okay....don't feel guilty. I'm getting to that point as well....the problem is that the photography and hiking bits are fun and I do love sharing those shots.....and I do like the blogging.....but it's also good to take a break. That grey kitty is the one known as Aurora:) She's my girl. We have 5 and I love them all but Aurora is my girl:) Hope you are well.
DeleteHi Chris, welcome back, I must admit I've been a bit distracted myself, but it's always a pleasure to get back into the swing and catch up with everyone. Loved your images of El Sr. Papagayo in previous post and so happy for you that he's decided to honour you with his presence once more. I would love at some time to hear the sound of a mockingbird so if you ever feel like taking a video feel free haha! So lucky to catch these two little beauties above together, what timing and I laughed when I saw the look in pussy cats eyes..lunch!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool picture of two so very different birds. Never having seen a verdin before I think it most neat!
ReplyDeleteFunny! I remember what a delight it was to have verdins come to my feeders when I lived here before. I just set out my hummingbird feeders yesterday. We will see if any verdins show up! The hummers are already making themselves known!
ReplyDeleteThat would be so much fun. I'm up for this weekend. I haven't planned anything major as the rain is making me think we may have some unexpected guests around our area:) My email is rohrerbot@yahoo.com
Deletei've never seen another type of bird at our hummer feeders...butterflies, bees, yes! but not other birds! what a catch!!
ReplyDeletethey look so cute there together!
and your kitty....sweeeeet!!
