Seems likely they are more "flighty" in the spring and early summer when the flowers are a bit sparser. But if you're patient you'll eventually come across one feeding calmly.

Attended a photography workshop up in Crescent City, CA this past weekend with one of the spots being at Damnation Creek Trail. It is well known for fog and blooming rhododendron flowers (when in bloom.) During the workshop, we didn't have much luck with foggy mornings but on my drive home it was foggy so I stopped to get some pictures.
Some planets are born alone, live alone, and die alone. The ESA's Euclid space telescope just found a nest of these loners in the constellation Orion.
At least the rogue planets have chosen a gorgeous spot to go about their business: This is where the newfound worlds are hanging out (toward the top of the image).
As I won't be able to compile the video the next day, I decided to just share the photos already. I played around a lot with foregrounds .. and honestly deleted most of them - but I also learned a lot.
We did this trail ... many years ago and we always wanted to revisit it. (of course I felt challenged to take better photos as well)
I hope you enjoy the photo as much as I did walking the trail.
I went "dumpster diving" through old files last week. Cleaning out hard drive space to make room for new images. This is one of the gems I found hidden away.
Taken in 2019 on a trip to #Guatemala with my sibling. We were hiking up to a Volcano near #AntiguaGuatemala and we're constantly being engulfed in clouds. In fact, this forest is nicknamed cloud forest for that very reason.

(Apologies in advance for this, yesterday’s post, and future adorable fuzzy juvenile anniversary birding picture posts. Creation is so amazing!)
This #GreaterSpottedWoodpecker#nestling has figured out that the food comes from outside the hole, it just hasn’t plucked up the courage to go find it…
