    Nifty. What species?
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I have no idea. It's just this little guy that has been perching on top of the pine tree next to the pool at my apartment. I tossed a rainbow overlay on the original photo.... I'll post the original and perhaps maybe you might be able to tell me

    Hard to tell for sure from that photo but it looks like it might be a Broad-tailed Hummingbird, Selasphorus platycercus.

    Yeah, hummers are way cool. We have a feeder right outside the window where I'm sitting and it gets constant business from the local Anna's Hummingbird population.
