tfw your photo manages to miss the whole point of the bird...

"you're making me nervous with a comment like that, pal"--Goldfinch, probably
(PS-- so cute birb is blushing with false modesty)
"that curly tongue you thought you saw proves nothing!
i am a rare & previously unknown species of hummingbird that can too twirl its tongue into a complete circle
i am a real birb!"-- flying shrimp, again

"i am too a hummingbird, in fact, i am a kind of hummingbird known as a thorntail, you see that white band over my hips, all thorntails have that white band...
"ignore the rumors suggesting i am a flying shrimp!" -- flying shrimp, probably

i've missed a few #ThickTrunkTuesday postings but i'm back with a game of...
Spot The Woodpecker
taken through my office window in the rain so it's a bit dark but that's all part of the run, right?

my first beta test of Affinity Photo 2.6 object selection
Boobear the 28-year-old cockatiel is helping me by posing on a white/messy background, i think that's a tough enough test
snap the photo, select the bird, select the not bird, apply gaussian blur & desaturate to the not bird channel
had to do a little tinkering because object selection missed part of the crest but it's... semi-OK?
comments welcome

trip report about my photography workshop in northern Peru https://peachfront.diaryland.com/r2024.html
photos at Flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/98553536@N03/albums/72177720322039889
also i edit & post a few here every day
safety note-- i masked all airports, all flights & ate or drank only at altitude where a lot of air is moving thru the cabin, group itself was tiny 4 students, 1 guide, 1 driver, most restaurants open air
questions welcome

"all prayers are answered, i prayed for the ability to not smack the living **** out of absolute fools, & the answer was NO"-- Chestnut-breasted Coronet, probably
would love to see a cage match between a Rufous Hummingbird & a Chestnut-breasted Coronet, it's hard to say who is the crankier birb

Some challenging bright light on a good subject. Our first photography session of the tour centered on a small flock of Yellow-tufted Woodpeckers. He was backlit but this male was fairly cooperative with me.

"i shouldn't have to pick up my own food, where are the parents"-- deeply embittered Northern Cardinal fledgling
PS-- nice shot
OK it's answer time
this one is the same female Green Trainbearer from the photo I posted before but she's turned so you can't see the long tail-- thus she is super hard to distinguish (in a photo where you have just this angle) from one of many other green spotty hummingbirds, for example, Many Spotted Hummingbird...
