Perry can see some pretty cool stuff while seated at his work station — I see my computer monitor and the back of his head. Now how fair is that? When he told me he was grabbing his camera to take a shot of a praying mantis he saw sitting on the fence, I thought I’d grab my camera and take a quick photo as well. Although I did get a couple shots of the little green guy, I found something a tad more interesting to photograph…
This aggressive bad boy fought with about 4 others for the prime drinking spot on the mckainerwin feeder. Hummingbirds are the coolest — don’t you agree? Their colors come from iridescence — not pigment — so their brilliance ‘winks’ depending on the light source and the position of the viewer. Kind of like soap bubbles!
