August Sunrise at the Gates of Lodore Campground |
Hummingbirds |
I recently experienced yet another dramatic sunrise in the high desert. The morning sky changed from a flaming horizon devouring the clouds to a bluebell blue canopy alive with flocks of hummingbirds in pursuit of nectar from sources few and far between.
They fly to my feeders within inches of my camera lens more leery of their peers than me who offers no competition for the sweet, red nectar.

The hummingbirds are accompanied by flocks of crows and black-billed magpies, nesting pairs of Canada Geese, Orioles, Peregrine Falcons, and Golden Eagles.

Nice rendering. I haven't been down that way since last October.
