Swede’s Photographs

Feeding on the Wing

I’m off to a slow start today and haven’t made much progress. I had hoped to have this done by 9:00 AM, but here we are.

For those who follow my posts—Ben started Laverdia today. I also decided to take him off Tramadol, as I suspected it was suppressing his appetite and leaving him in a dazed state. Already, he seems more like his old self. We'll see how things go from here.

The ruby-throated hummingbirds (Archilochus colubris) seem to favor this old rustic feeder above all the others—though, perhaps it’s simply because the newer one is still empty.

"The image captures the delicate grace of a ruby-throated hummingbird suspended in midair, her tiny body hovering effortlessly as she feeds. The shimmering iridescence of her feathers shifts between emerald green and golden hues, catching the light with each rapid flutter of her wings. Her long, needle-like black beak is delicately dipped into the artificial flower of the hummingbird feeder, drawing nourishment with precise elegance. Her tiny talons barely brush the surface of the feeder, offering the slightest touch before she lifts again into weightless flight. The soft blur of her wings contrasts with the sharp focus of her body—an intricate balance between motion and stillness. The background fades into gentle, muted tones, ensuring the hummingbird remains the undeniable focal point of the image. The scene evokes a feeling of quiet beauty, a fleeting moment in the life of one of nature’s most extraordinary aerial acrobats." Copilot with edits
