First up, a bit of mediocre but interesting astrophotography, w/ Jupiter and its moons pre-dawn yesterday at around 5:30AM EDT, looking west (Venus was to the right of this shot, but basically just a large white dot):
For the rest of the post, back to more recent Erie County, Pennsylvania hummingbird activity, w/ female Ruby-throated Hummingbird on and off a feeder:
Amazing photos!
Where’s the male?
When I hung my feeder this morning with fresh food, our local HB came up and said, “about time you got out here!”
The female chases off any other hummingbirds that show up – it’s all too fast to see if they’re males or other females.
