      video of their wing pattern from Youtube (not mine).  I love how their wings work…

        Their green feather's are an iridescent emerald green and truly beautiful and magnificent.

        Wonderful creatures. I saw my first one with 20 yrs or so when I was in California. But still the best was later in Ecuador at a place called 'Bellavista Cloud Forrest', one of the places on earth with the highest diversity of animals and plants, and also many hummingbird species. There, they were quite tame and even liked to sit on my hand.

          We have a lot here in Albuquerque.  Right now there’s one building a nest on our pip up tent that we use as cover in the back yard.  We sit out there every night.  I’ll get a picture later.

                @endo Extremely envious and outstanding picture!!!!  @Matt I would love to see the nest, if you get a chance.  I have never seen one in person (but have through the Internet).

                    Because that's all I've got.  And anyway, a hedge trimmer or chainsaw makes the hedge look like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre…......I did have to resort to a saw for the branches over 1/2 inch.....

                            We saw them once or twice in Baltimore.  Saw one oriole in 40 years.  Never saw a Raven.  In ABQ I see humming birds and Ravens every day.

                                      @Matt Thank you!  Those are fantastic.

                                      @Giles My neighbour trims his bushes with a electric hedge trimmer and they always look like shite…He gets mad because mine look better (I use Felco hand pruner’s also).  In the past I suggested he try doing them by hand and it was not well received…c'est la vie  🙂
