(32,723 posts)I still have my own Canon AE-1 from the 70s.
I would have had to change to high speed film and crank up the shutter speed to max and opened the aperture to the separate meter reading and then not see results until the pictures came back in a week.

(18,318 posts)these guys really make the scene in late summer. Never seen an albino. I did see 3 species (they looked very diff) in the same cow pasture flowers climbing a fence. They jousted with each other over the flowers; feisty birds.

(2,825 posts)I suppose it's possible for another kind to be knocked off course and end up in this area, but I have never seen another kind. Don't know anybody else in this area who has seen anything else, either. Long ago, different kinds emerged and established their own migratory routes.
I am amazed at all the different colors of hummingbird in the west--particularly in the southwest. May they all stay away from oil wells and fracking sites!

Thanks so much for posting these, Omaha Steve! We sure could use a good dose of this lovely stuff. Many of us have had runny eyes lately and could use something still alive and magical to rest them upon.
