Who was that? Delany? I'm looking it up. You know, Samsung has a patent on you.

I was wondering if a hummingbird's bill was one piece, as in the top and bottom being fused together. Never really saw one with an open bill.
Well, they can open and I bet most of the time it's in a microsecond. They do vocalize with chirps, but it has to be really quiet to hear them, like in the morning before the traffic gets heavy or the dog and human unnecessary vocalizations begin.
Not my pic here:

I've seen it said that hbirds begin to recognize the humans (and gorns) that fill their feeders. I don't know if that is the case for me 'cause if I try and change them in daylight I will receive bee stings.
One time I was even stung at night. They do start to feed in the early dawn when you wouldn't think they could see where they are flying. The honey bees will not have arrived yet and so their only competition is other hbirds.

We were just practicing. Our fans expect a good show. One time we even got Vince McMahon and his lovely wife Linda to emcee.

My first Monarch Caterpillar. Or is it a John Deere? I can't tell the difference.

I took this pic from my window about 25' away. Tried to get a close up macro shot but couldn't get the camera to focus. No manual focus with this camera.

How come you get away with it Gorn? Whenever I try and get close ups of birds using my telephoto lens + binocular combo it always leads to the police, a night in the cells, restraining orders and allsorts [:-]

His monarch is kind of aged and her beauty has faded quite a lot. He is shooting potential future monarchs ...

He is not shooting anyone. He doesn't have the skills. He even said so himself.

He can't even take a picture of the broad side of a barn.

Not even a white elephant. Not even if it stared him in the eye.

Is that why they call it a BROADcast?

I'm really not sure, but this, I believe is what they're talking about when discussing broad band.

I know, I cause an unnecessary disruption in the force when I post things like that, but I just can't help it.

Are you referring to this one? I've stated before that dimples just kill me. This woman totally flattens me into a green puddle of goo.
