Pardon the feeder, please, but I just loved the goorget and head on this guy. Males are so very timid, you know. Blessed, that I can suppliment their diet, Dan

More Young rd. juvenile males. Someday, you'll forget and forgive. Blessed, with so many dependent friends, Dan

And even more teenage males. Somebody put a leash on the man! Blesed, in spite of himself, Dan

More juvenile male rubythroats. More fence, more morning glories. Yawn. Blessed, even tormenting you guys, Dan

The old swooping, high-speed, transparent wing syndrome. And more juvenile males. Blessed, by the Elm Grove hatch rates, Dan

The mad tail spred backed by the back morning glories. Young males everywhere. Blessed, by acceptance in the flock, Dan

A very young male dodging another hummer. Close and far morning glories, as well. Blessed, by about 6 more weeks for males, and 8 or 9 for the females and juveniles, Dan

I still seem to have about 10-15 % mature males, however they are so timid (or should I say chicken), good photos are difficult. They are most actice at dawn and dusk when light isn't right for shooting. Please fogive the shortcomings, but I love the pose I was allowwed. Blessed, without pride, Dan

An odd posture in a blue sky, with a tree line. Got some great ideas for experimentation tomorrow. Blessed, by every shot, good or bad, Dan

Dan's profiling once again. Love the Creator's green on those backs! Blessed, from the tiny feet to the haircuts, Dan

Still attempting extreme close-ups. Blessed, in spite of near 60 ounces a day, Dan

Another in-the-face, with a tree line and pretty sky. Light was playing tricks about now. Blessed, by the challenge, Dan

Yeah, I know. Oh for the focus of the tail, for the head as well. (heavy sigh) Red though, huh? During some very dark clouds. Blessed, by trying and trying, Dan

I somehow managed to intice this darling right up in my face, catching the martin house the two bluebird pairs use. Blessed, by slight detail sometimes, Dan

More young gentlemen, hovering the green. Seems I am overwhelmed by juvenile males. Maybe tommorow, just too cloudy today. Blessed, by so many Archilochus, Dan

A younger male hovering in the MG. My morning glories need to grow some more, I reckon. Blessed, by growable backgrounds. blessed, still by the endless possibilities, Dan

More of my morning glory exploration with this battle worn young male. He's missing two tail feathers, but still proud. No photos this weekend, 5th Sunday singing. Blessed, with so many tiny friends, Dan

Again, a juvenile male and the morning glories. Blessed, having what they like, Dan

A young male cruising the morning glories. Blessed, growing backgrounds as I may, Dan

Two females, caught at doing what they do. Blessed, 'til my camera breaks, Dan

A veteran female in good early morning lighting. Blessed, by every opportunity, Dan

A young Prince learning how to be a true man. Tail feathers darkening day by day. Blessed, as a yearly witness, Dan

An early morning male, almost facing me. A bit fuzzy around the legs. Blessed, by all the possibilities, Dan

A young male flying across Dan's yard in morning sunshine. Blessed, by what these little friends need, Dan

Flying and flitting, squeaking and humming. Blessed, by even a fowl word every now and then, Dan
