First Yard Photos - 16 May 2015

It was raining this morning so I set up the scope in the sunroom windows and waited for something to wander by. A Gray Catbird perched low in the brush at the back of the property line and allowed me to get a few digiscoped images.

A pair of Killdeer were in the muddy/rocky/puddly lot next door, so I turned the scope on them.

I had just set up the hummingbird feeder and no sooner than I did a female Ruby-throated Hummingbird came by and fed. I was too slow with the scope, though and missed her.  Twenty minutes later she came by again and I missed her again.  I would not see her again.
