Hi Luggers,
I only had a brief visit from one male Rufous hummingbird this morning and 
when he saw me he was gone in a flash!
He's much more skittish than his female counterpart. So, I went over to the 
Otter Bay ferry terminal and after I was set
up the bald eagles from across the bay showed up. Very convenient.

Here they are landing at the dock.

When you are dealing with over 200 cm (more than 6 feet of wing span) 
sometimes
it's a bit hard to get settled:

Once landed and settled there was an opportunity for a family portrait:

And when Mama got bored she flew straight at me and away:

Yes I did duck!!

Please look large - C&C always welcome.

Howard.
