Paco, I would be most careful hanging out with storks - I assume that you know what they herald? 

Nice shot BTW.

  Thanks!

Beautiful light, the symmetry from the reflection and the pattern on the surface balancing the composition. I love it! Well done!

Thank You

Nice series of various birds attracted by the same flowers!

Nice collection Brute
esp the ones among the blossom which are excellent in their own right, even for people not very into birds.

The Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher is one of my favorite birds. they are tiny, almost the size of a hummingbird. Here is one of these delightful little creatures as they set to work on a web of spiders for either some momentary nourishment or to collect materials for building their nest.

Note: I edited this post when I found out more information about this bird's nesting habits.

The Blue-Grey Gnatcatcher is one of my favorite birds, it comes and stays only for a short while in Connecticut before moving further north where they nest. Here is one of these delightful little creatures as they set to work on a nest of spiders (or gypsy moths, I don't know which) for some momentary nourishment followed by a satisfied pause.

Wow, you captured decisive moments!  Thank you for sharing!
