We Have The Coolest Birds In The World
|
We Have The Coolest Birds In The World Yes, that’s right. The coolest birds in the world are found in the Americas. I know, I know. Europeans, Asians, Africans and Aussies have some pretty cool looking indigenous birdies, but none of em have a bird that can fly backwards, fly upside down, fly sideways, fly while spinning around, and hover in mid-air. Yet, if you live between Alaska and Chile you can watch hummingbirds right up close in your yard. In 2015 I have been enjoying this seasons friend, Boris. He claimed my feeder in the early Spring, and has guarded it well against all comers with the help of his trusty girlfriend Natasha. Their aerial exploits have entertained me for many months. Do you like to watch your local birds? bird on!  |

I didn't know hummingbirds were Russian! Just a couple minutes ago the hummingbird that frequents my feeder buzzed me to refill it!

We do have some beautiful birds here. I've always loved watching hummingbirds, but only on tv. We don't have them here.

I have a long story about some local birds, but I'll try to keep it short. Purple Martins. Not far away, the Platte River get's plenty of attention for being a stop for Canadian Geese. (It's awesome if you're into that, I'm sure.) But just about a half mile from my house is an official roosting place for purple martins. They peak in flocks of 20-30,000 and perform amazing sunset aerobatics before roosting along a registered two block stretch of Ash trees. (It's a yearly thing.) Like the geese, they are migrating south. It's a wonderful sight to behold.

We have a few hummingbirds in our area. Living on the migration path affords me some fantastic bird watching opportunities. A neighbor set up a camera by his hummingbird feeder Great shots of their acrobatic abilities!
