Perching birds-great and small

Male Anna's hummingbird

It seems like I alternate photographing the largest and smallest birds. These were photographed two days apart.

The hummers, of course, are regularly visiting my feeders and flowers.

At the neighborhood eagle's nest, Junior is exploring farther than the trainer tree. I photographed these just five days ago. Junior waited for his mama but she hasn't been bringing dinner. It's time for him to learn how to hunt. 

Juvenile bald eagle - about 4 months old
