昨天中午,每天的例行动作,慢跑观鸟。跑着跑着忽然眼角的余光扫到一点玫瑰紅,停步,一边喘气一边用力辨别。(见上图,鸟站资料照片)

谁呢,第一次看到这种红色,也第一次见到整个头部都染上了玫瑰紅色的小鸟,一瞬间幸福感爆棚,又是一种新的我没见过的鸟!

姆指头大小的鸟一动不动,谁呢,百万分的好奇。

驻足欣赏眼对眼的与小鸟相持了一会儿,我轻轻的移动几步,哦,侧面看出来了,它是蜂鸟。我们这里每天都可以看到的蜂鸟。

顺便再多贴一个链接,北美洲的各种蜂鸟,有兴趣的可以看一下你自己家附近可能会有的蜂鸟 https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/browse/shape/Hummingbirds

 

外面见到了雀儿,回家复习,继续读鸟,我最喜欢的就是读我的偶像Tom Grey 的记录,抄一段,见下图及文字。

观鸟,最动人的就是你逮到一个美妙的片刻。Tom 的文字表达流畅自然,故事情节缓缓道来,读起来宛如诗歌,美妙动人。

The picture above of a mating pair resulted from one of those bits of good luck you can stumble into if you happen to be carrying a camera at the right moment, as I was when I took a walk around my neighborhood not long after I got serious about bird photography. I heard the loud "chup!" created by the tail feathers of the male Anna's at the bottom of the J-shaped dive that is the centerpiece of his spectacular courting display. I noticed the female crouching nearby on a branch, lit by a ray of sunshine throught the foliage. I focused on her, and sure enough, the male approached her, and as they copulated I was able to get this picture, a version of which appeared in Birder's World, June 2004.

午饭后散个步,每次经过这个建筑物都会想,如果我的办公室临水,我肯定70岁也不愿意退休。
