I figure it was a "Jersey" hummingbird 

Can you explain me why? I understand it is a joke, but don´t understand the meaning of it...
 
Thanks

Speaking of Dale whirlyheads...doing a little old stuff browsing...her creation from 2006 (I think)

I don't know if Dale has joined this forum yet, but Lincoln Karim has a whirlyhead Pale Male on his site today that I know she'll love...(I may have to redo the link tomorrow when it moves to the archive)

Someone on the standpipe this morning (the other cam is stuck...again)...definitely an adult...I'm guessing Rhea Mae based on size...

Cubbie is starting to actually look like a panda!

Looks like they were both there a earlier...

I have no personal advice to add...don't own a scope & most likely won't for many moons...but one of my favorite blogs is Birdchick and she does a lot of digiscoping (disclaimer-I believe she is also a Swarovski rep)...she has a section of her blog devoted to digiscoping...perhaps you can find something useful there...

I was browsing through my Flickr account looking for something else & ran across this pic of Rhea Mae & her eyases this year...I just like it and wanted to share

This week we have received several enquiries asking what has happened to the pink nest box?

Last year Sheila increased the ferocity in which she defended her territory including a number of strikes to employees...lucky for mandatory hard hats!  One possible contributor for Sheila's bad mood was that the nest box faced directly toward the power station (north-west).  This may have been a source of aggravation for Sheila as she could see people moving back and forth and felt her nest was threatened.  So a new nestbox (unpainted) has been installed on the north-east side of the water tower facing away from the station.  Only time will tell if Sheila's mood improves.

I'll admit, I'm one of the ones who asked about the pink box  

Lou-I think it was Jim P. who told me Alcoa had gotten the nestbox design & cam idea from Kodak...the old pink box looked just like the old Kodak box

Dot...WAY cool avatar!  I don't see a place to choose the formatting options while writing the signature-probably assumes you already know the code, so I did a test...did the whole thing in a reply then copied & pasted it into the signature box...worked just fine!
