EMPTY NEST

Allen's Hummingbird - Orange County, CA - Our little feathered friend has flown the coop! ;) Today he took his flight out into the big world!! Here are some parting shots of him. Stay safe little hummer!

A bird always has to be on the lookout!

Preening is a very important job! Birds preen in order to repair, groom, waterproof and condition feathers and also to remove parasites! Whew..now you know why it seems as if a bird is always preening when you see them - it's a big job!!

This little one has all his flight feathers in - looking pretty spiffy!
