In humans albinos have very poor eyesight but it seems this bird can see very well. I'm so pleased it is thriving despite multiple risks. cheers, cmSue Catminthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14242341696447975933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-51530389249227204692012-01-08T15:38:00.030+11:002012-01-08T15:38:00.030+11:00Hi Martin

Looking at Jill's images it looks much "smoother".<br /><br />Am I imagining things? <br /><br />MartinFlabmeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934077052437339591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-72159370743633551862012-01-08T08:43:47.352+11:002012-01-08T08:43:47.352+11:00Thanks Rohrerbot, Mick and Keith,

If I hear more, I will let you know.<br /><br />Rohrerbot - your Hummingirds sound dangerous. Just as well they are as small as they are. <br />"Pound for Pound" they are obviously packed with energy and aggression.<br /><br />Keith - thanks for the comments.<br /><br />Cheers<br />DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-30767731500884828592012-01-08T08:31:02.904+11:002012-01-08T08:31:02.904+11:00Great images, well done.

It's very interesting that it is apparently surviving well in the wild. I wonder if it has a mate or if it is solitary?mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230845410313320080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-19903698449192499322012-01-08T03:36:58.014+11:002012-01-08T03:36:58.014+11:00What an interesting thing to see!

Sometimes, the hummingbirds just fly by my head for a kill:) I put the feeder up and they drink right away not even caring that I'm standing next to the darn thing.Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.com
