I had the same problem. There's a thing in the top right of one page you can click to go into full-screen mode, but you still run into the same problem later. It's poorly designed, imho.  I had to connect a mouse. It was TOTALLY worth the three calories I burned to connect the mouse to my mac laptop. TERRIFIC pictures!!!!!! Thanks, Paul!!!
Then one of the screech owls flew out and ate my mouse. Bummer.

Now that's what I call a bird bath!

hahaha yeah one of those chichi ones you have to run a water hose into, not like mine, which is really a christmas tree stand.

Look at all those feet! So many feet!
Makes me want to do their nails!

I had to find pictures of whooping crane chicks.

thanks, Gayle!

[Thanks Dale. Love those tree swallows ! They are really healthy looking. Lola]

yeah, isn't it amazing that these strapping fellows can survive on a diet of flies and mosquitoes, which are mostly plastic?

an acquaintance told me at banding that she had seen snowball dancing to lady gaga (in person, not on video). I looked that up and found that s. has been in two commercials. I didn't know that. Maybe someone has posted about it already. Deborah also told me that Snowball is single-footedly supporting that bird rescue operation!   http://www.birdloversonly.org/Mitzy8.html

next they're gonna tell me that I myself am licensed premises when wearing the feeder helmet and that I need a permit to wear it...

btw a link in that article goes to another, at Live Science, entitled:
"Tree Shrew Sober Despite Drinking All Day."  Just sayin'.

What's with the dude on the left? 

pretty much what I said in the previous post. That's just a stage he's going through.
I guess the head retracts into the body for a while during this part of development, so as to create more pressure to inflate the big feet. It will pass.

ahhhh...bald crop, endlessly huge feet, no head whatsoever...

[Heh,heh,hee. That surely looks like a small orca. Nice joke !! Lola]

here are a couple of tree swallows for you, then ;)

those last two captures remind me a lot of Chris' screech owl nest box antics...I got my fix of silliness for the day...

There is a hummingbird festival in Western Kentucky around the first weekend of August, but basically anytime between early August and Labor day they see peak hummingbird numbers (often 200 a day).  It's at a visitor center at Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area where they have a magnificent hummingbird garden and bunches of feeders to catch the little terrors on their way down the Mississippi flyway.  Your headdress could be quite a hit there, and could generate some sales for Lou, in case he'd like to go into the hummer-helmet business  ;).  It can be untolerably hot and humid here during August, so Lou would need to invent a way to air-condition your bike helmet.  Patti

migration is probably the only way I'd get more than one hummer-customer at a time, with how territorial they are, but this conjures up the image of 200 hummingbirds in rowdy, brawling queues at each of five dangling feeders, with me stuck in the center -- pretty nightmarish.
I could suffer hummer abrasions.
Add to that a little helmet-mounted fan...
But then the whole purpose of this is to make me look like an idiot, which I am usually more than willing to do, so maybe...;)

Cattle egret looking really, REALLY upset. As am I.

Hahahahaha did you get any hummers?
Maybe when your not wearing it, you could hang it from the porch.
Good job Lou & Dana

Darn tootin' it's a good job. It's totally stupid!

And very wearable and balanced, especially with sunglasses to help support it.
This was a trial run at Bong State Recreation Area (jokes on the name at your own risk; he was a WWII flying ace, 'nuff said) - a splendid huge managed prairie between Kenosha and Burlington, WI, where scores of tiny but anatomically perfect killer whales incubate swallow eggs in boxes (documented in a separate post) and there are a LOT of hawks. I saw FOUR huge RTHs playing, with the sun shining red through them. Plus one dead blue snake (I suspect I disturbed someone's dinner). Plus a bluebird (big score for me, I love them), herons, goldfinches, etc. Anyway, the bird feeders by the nature center get a huge variety of birds, and I have seen hummers there, but the center was closed so I couldn't ask if they had seen any recently. I also spent a certain amount of time assembling said moronic headgear for the first time, mixing up the red stuff, filling the five feeders, and, not to put too fine a point on it, farting around. So, to answer your question, Linda, no hummers, but through no fault of the birds'. 
I attracted some bugs, so what else is new.
I will do migration-related research and try more seriously at a later date.
