Here, we got great shots and looks at some elusive species, including blue-chested hummingbird
crowned wood-nymph (this is a little hen)
here feeding naturally...
I'm an artist and writer who lives in the Appalachian foothills of Ohio. With this blog, I hope to show what happens when you make room in your life, every day, for the things that bring you joy. Strange...most of them are free.

If you like what you see, and are tempted to lift something for your own use, you need to contact me and play Mother May I. Extra points for genuflecting and offering recompense, linkage, and obsequious tribute. If you reproduce my photos, art or writing without asking, I will track you down with my Googlehounds, and you don't want that. Aooooooo!

Serendipity hangs out a lot with Synchronicity. I totally rely on these two in my life, and they never let me down. Obviously they roused that dog to scare you off, knowing that you would have a better time at Cope's. What a wonderful, magical day! Thank you for sharing it with us!
Fantastic pictures, Julie. You've gotta love a bird with the name "euphonia"!
Do hummingbird wings pivot On a point? The movement in that last photo looks different than I imagined it would!
I just love to read your blog entries for so many reasons-today's being those lovely hummingbirds! I had no idea there were so many. Your last photo of the one in flight looking at you is stunning. Thank you for sharing with us.
Brilliant.
Oh pardon me? Those rail photos? Do I get to share a planet with all that?
One of my favorite places in Costa Rica, and certainly one of my favorite people. I have only been there once...one afternoon in October, but I will be retrying this December and I am totally looking forward to it. Thanks for the reminder.
