Tonight I am cursing myself for not having a better flash. We have a humming bird in my garage and my flash is leaving some horrible shadows. Could only get a few picks because we are still trying to get him/her out. I'll let everyone who cares know what happens.








I had time to upload these because we figured we would leave him alone for 20 minutes and see if he finds the big open door. These birds sure are pretty, but they aren't very smart!

It's a stick insect, there are a few different species

I think they are the largest insect known, and they use the stick like appearance as camoflague

The humming bird decided to stay for about four hours in my garage. I finally got worried that it may not make it through the night so I tried to force it out with a broom. I guess he got really tired because he finally just perched on the brisels and let me walk him out the garage door. At one point before I used the broom I was about 3 inches from grabbing him... I guess he got comfortable with me being close.Maybe one day he will remember my kindness and let me take pictures of him where there is decent light!
