not sure about this edit of the Long-tailed Sylph female being heckled by the Bronzy Inca
they were fighting over a feeder but i tried to swap out the feeder for a nearby flower... may work on it again later since it's the only really good photo of the female LT Sylph that i've got
A photograph of a stout hummingbird with a rusty breast being chased by a brown hummingbird right behind her. This the female Long-tailed Sylph (she doesn't have a long tail) being chased by the Bronzy Inca. Reserva La Rivera, Colombia. Nov 2025. Photo by Peachfront.
sounds good to me? per this announcement the new affinity app will combine photo, publisher, & designer & will be free to all, no license purchase required
won't need to upload anything to cloud services online to use
as an Affinity Photo 2 user, i like what i'm hearing so far...
A small hummingbird with an iridescent blue-green face & violet bib is flying at the viewer with a sort of "ta dah, i am here" lift of the wings. This is the Blue-chested Hummingbird, sorry, it's one of those trick names, you have to squint to notice the soft blue in the chest. Photo by Peachfront. Panama April 2025. Post processing with Affinity Photo 2.
i have photo'd 50 species of hummingbird but for #Fotomontag#PhotoMonday i'd like to address the issue of how sometimes you can only get a bad photo
like this guy, we had ONE place where we could see Royal Sunangel but birb didn't show up until the glare of high noon with pollen on the head (not a gold crown)
with rare birds sometimes a bad photo is better than no photo tho ...
A very deep blue longish-tailed hummingbird who is currently not shimmering in iridescence at all because of the harsh light is photo'd in 2 images-- one on a bare branch, the other on a sugar feeder. In both photos, there is a large yellow spot on the birb's head. This is pollen. The background is the blurred out green of the forest vegetation beyond. Species is Royal Sunangel. Northwest Peru. Photo by Peachfront. November 2024.
An old, chunky chorb of a charcoal and snow white colored cockatiel with a long wispy crest is sitting on the rim of a white plastic tub with some newspapers in it. This is 28yo white-faced cockatiel Boobear, one of my senior rescue birbs, posing for his closeup. He has pink nostrils and a sparkle in his onyx-black eye. Photo by Peachfront. Dec 6, 2024.
