Apparently I have a knack for spotting perched hummingbirds, and running into neighbors on the trail of our local park. The last time I went for a photo walk I caught a shot of a perched hummingbird and then met a fellow that lives near us. We spoke for a while and was kind of pleasant. Today I took the same walk, caught two perched hummingbirds and spoke to a different neighbor at just about the same spot as last time. Again, it was a very enjoyable experience. I should walk in the park more often... #hummingbird #bird #Trochilidae #birding #stewartlake #stewartcountypark #danecounty #danecountyparks #wisconsin #wisconsinwildlife #wisonsinbirding #birdingwi #hike #park #trail #mounthoreb #wisconsinlife
Hummingbird It's an almost normal Sunday. Suddenly I found myself all alone with an hour or two on my hands. I grabbed my camera, a 100-400mm lens, a flash, and some bug spray. It's been weeks, heck maybe longer, since I've walked in Stewart Lake. As soon as I entered the park I spotted a hummingbird, but couldn't get a shot. As I slowly made way along the trails I noticed a number of them throughout the park. It wasn't until I was way down by the lake that I finally captured this image. As soon as I took this I ended up meeting a neighbor, for the first time, on the trail and we BSed for a while about our families, kids, hiking, etc.. It also turned out his college aged son earned his black belt from Infusion. I'd say small world but it's more small town living. Sometimes it can be really nice. #hummingbird #bird #Trochilidae #birding #stewartlake #stewartcountypark #danecounty #danecountyparks #wisconsin #wisconsinwildlife #wisonsinbirding #birdingwi #hike #park #trail #mounthoreb #wisconsinlife
