"i would have laughed if you told better jokes"-- grimly serious Laughing Falcon, probably

(PS- love these birbs!)

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...

 

can you name this birb in just one note?

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

A swallowtail butterfly species from northern Peru, now you know as much as I do, apparently there are hundreds of swallowtail species, anybody know more? tell me!!!

"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.
