This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_3SU7nO4uKbFY3/E3qNhriQ) Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT ----- Original Message ----- From: Hans Toom To: Ns-Rba@Yahoogroups.Com Sent: Saturday, May 05, 2007 6:23 PM Subject: Orchard Oriole, Field Sparrow, Ruby-throated Hummingbirds and Other Birds From Today I struggled with poor light late this afternoon photographing the latest wave of migrants and residents at our place in Portuguese Cove. Perhaps they will stay until Monday's sunshine offers better conditions. Nevertheless, I've posted a bunch of photos, highlights 35-44, starting with the first summer male Orchard Oriole. This is an extremely skittish bird but many birds are often that way after a strenuous migration flight leg. The Field Sparrow is another story. About this time last year an overwintering Field Sparrow finally left after staying with us for about five months. In those five months of seeing that bird several times a day I never managed to snap a single good photo but fortunately, at least for my ego, this one is far more cooperative. I've also posted photos of more common birds finishing of as always it seems with our resident Ring-necked Pheasant and.....the Ruby-throated hummingbirds are back! A good day for back yard rarities, though!
