TweetIt's fun, and noisy, having peacocks roaming freely in my yard--see my posts on baby peacocks and peacocks during mating season in my yard for lots of pics and info on that! At the opposite end of the size spectrum, though, I'm also blessed with hummingbirds.
They're attracted to numerous plants in the yard, including Bird of Paradise flowers, orange/lemon/tangerine blossoms, mulberry trees, Buddleia plants, many varieties of flowers, and the nectar feeder. I like to sit on the patio with my camera at the ready and snap photo after photo when a hummingbird comes to the feeder. I currently have the nectar feeder positioned so that the shots I get from my usual seat at the patio table have a nice background of bougainvillea blossoms.
Here are a few recent pics, taken with a Nikon D5100 DSLR camera; each photograph is followed by a closeup crop from it:
I never get tired of seeing these cute, tiny birds who dart back and forth so quickly...if you blink you can miss them. So it's HARD getting good shots of them!
