here is the male Collared Inca, possibly the mate of the female in the photo i posted a few minutes ago... since i took the photos within moments of each other at the same location / feeder -- he is not completely black and white, note his little bitty purple hat!!!

I kept the frame minimal so the motion feels loud.

I am taking suggestions on how to improve backlit photos since I have little experience with backlit photography...

with birds & birding, you often have little choice of the lighting, you get the bird where and at what time the bird chooses to be...

i don't know that people can always get a fair idea of the size of a birb in a picture but Woodstars are truly tiny...

a throwback to only a few weeks ago

you know i complain all the time about poorly named birbs but this bird has the perfect name! if you don't know it already, try to guess... answer is in the alt-text

"crank up the nectar production, boys, we have incoming!"

most of the birds i photographed for my workshop were hummingbirds but occasionally a tanager bumbled by

here's another trick question but it's the kind of thing that doesn't fool Google/Merlin so guess first before you use them to check your answer

do you know who this common South American hummingbird is or does the unusual color (cause unknown) leave you puzzled?

This is a juvenile male of an endemic Peruvian species for which I've recently posted some glamor images of the adult

the young look pretty different & yet perhaps you can guess the name...

location: Cocachimba, Peru

I'll come back later in the day to post the answer if no one else does first

Can't remember if I posted this one before, but if I did, have a new edit

I'll withhold the ID of this eclipse New World warbler for a couple of hours & let you post your guesses

unlike some of my other quizzes, even Merlin or Google Lens can figure out this relatively easy one, so you can check your guess there too if you're impatient

Location: Huembo, Peru November 2024
