Auto settings did a weird overexposure on this Rufous Hummingbird feeding on salvia. I really like it.

A solo Cinnamon Teal has been staying at the little local wetlands area, and it's done some molting. First photo from Oct 2025, second from Feb 2026 (with a female Northern Shoveler). It seems to mostly hang around the Northern Shovelers.

I imagine this category will generate a lot of Chickadee photos. Did you know that even though their daytime body temperature is about 105° F (40.5° C), their legs can be just below freezing? It's one of several adaptations they have to survive frigid winters.
