In the garden a couple of days ago
The setup with the hummingbird feeder (hidden behind me in the first photo) and the lavender background. Working on the Black-chinned Hummingbird female, who has gotten used to me and doesn’t fly off when I’m standing six feet away. Yesterday, I went toward the feeder to clean it off just as she was arriving, then she flew off to the right, into the orchid tree. I went back to the camera and in a flash, she landed on the feeder. She knows where I’m going. 
I think my book is in good hands
With my favorite letter carrier, and a very dear friend. 
Songwriter Stephen Kalinich with Backyard Bird Photography
My friend Steve wrote the great song “Little BIrd” for the Beach Boys with Dennis Wilson. “Little bird up in a tree looked down and sang a song to me of how it began.”
