Description
Introduction: You are invited to go for a tour through this web site to discover, in addition to the many photographs, the wonderful poetry many hummingbird lovers have written, the samples of beautiful hummingbird art available on-line and the links to many interesting hummingbird articles. I'm sure you will find much to hum about. And don't forget to download your free screensavers before you go.
The Photographer: After graduating from Virginia Tech, I was a Naval officer for twenty years specializing in aviation and submarine logistics. I've always been a nature lover, but I developed a special interest in hummingbirds and the environment after my retirement from the Navy. Now, I have time to marvel at some of the special wonders of life, such as hummingbirds, and do what I can to protect them. I encourage you to take a look at three conservation sites if you are interested in doing more for the hummingbirds and the environment. The sites cover three environmental fronts; legal, political and financial (habitat acquisition). More about me.
The Birds: All of the Costa's, Broadbill and Sparkling Violetear photos were taken at the San Diego Zoo's hummingbird aviary. The photos of Anna's and rufous hummingbirds were taken at feeders around my house here in Coronado, except the nesting Anna's and babies which were photographed at several neighbors' homes. Anna's hummingbirds are found in abundance here in Coronado all year long. Allen's and rufous, migrating hummingbirds not often seen in my area, make appearances at my feeders during their journeys.
