I did catch a rabbit though and was able to take pictures of it.

I have that attachment too, can't bear to see wildlife hurt, attacked or eaten. We haven't got any humming birds in Knoxville yet but I live in hope of seeing some soon.

Ye...I've been watching Phoenix, thanks to you. Yeah, I get a little nervous when she/he gets near the edge. This is my first experience to watch one but read up somewhere on what can happen. I've also two hummingbirds defending the same trumpet vine which both think belongs to them alone. Been thinking of getting camera close by to grab when I see them. <br /><br />Right now we are on the second hatching of barn swallows. Our weather has not been as hot as most Junes' and saw 5 babies pearing over the nest at me yesterday. I hope they make it. It was so hot last year that I don't think even one batch made it.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07393428886240353218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-88266429781061413142010-06-26T11:10:17.690-07:002010-06-26T11:10:17.690-07:00You and I are definitely for the birds!

Those huge wings will support the eaglet, right? Anyway, your photo of the hummingbird is awesome, how did you ever get such a great shot?CiCihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615265608675467505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-22932757082166376382010-06-26T11:00:04.277-07:002010-06-26T11:00:04.277-07:00Gracious, you are very good at photography.

I wish I could make good pictures but I seldom get the lighting right, and I have tremors that sometimes make it difficult to keep the camera still for anything but a point and shoot picture. Very nice, I enjoyed seeing the birds.<br /><br />On my walk the other day I came across some children that looked to be first or second graders. A bird nest had fallen to the ground and 3 of the children were holding baby birds that soon would be able to fly. One even had hers perched on a stick. They were not mistreating the birds, but never the less, it's doubtful the birds survived.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.com
