It’s Albatrossity Monday! No surprise there.
Then we go to the farmers’s market on Tuesday before heading back to New Zealand!
I hope everyone has a good week!
Albatrossity
The second batch of photos from my trip to Arizona in August does have a few birds that are not hummingbirds, but is mostly hummers. As my friend Sheri Williamson notes, hummingbirds are the “gateway drug to birding”; this week and next you just might get hooked. I also need to thank Sheri for her help with IDing some of these jewels. I have a lot to learn about hummingbirds and she has the knowledge of a deity and the patience of a saint.
Up first is a good morning look from a Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus). The B&B where I stayed had a pair of these apex predators roosting in the cottonwoods just north of the building. This one may have partied a bit too hearty, from the looks of him. Click here for larger image.
