Clark’s Nutcracker (Nucifraga columbiana) on top of a tree. Morning visit to Moraine Park in Rocky Mountain National Park. Additional images of Clark’s Nutcrackers are available in my PhotoShelter Gallery.
I set my Birdfy Hummingbird feeder out a month ago and didn’t get any hits on the Birdy phone app. I had been changing the sugar solution regularly. Today, I noticed that the Birdfy cameras were not online. The solar charging panel was connected, however the last several days have been cloudy and raining so the system probably wasn’t getting charged. I had hoped that the internal battery would have held a charge for longer. I recharged the system via the USB-C port. Within a couple of hours, a hummingbird was detected and had its picture taken. The Birdfy AI bird identification was incorrect. It thought the hummingbird was an Allen’s hummingbird that only lives on the west coast (Oregon, California, and Mexico). This was definitely a Ruby-Throated Hummingbird. Other images of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are available in my PhotoShelter Gallery.
Morning backyard walkabout with a Nikon 1 V3 camera and 70-300 mm VR lens. I found a wake of Black Vultures feeding on a dead animal in the far back corner of the yard and a couple of early American Robins looking for grubs or worms.
