"God Answers Prayer!"

I posted this photograph of a rufous hummingbird back in September, but now I have my YouTube video of him. you can see the original post here.

The background story: I visited the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden in September to photograph hummingbirds. But, the garden boasts a massive 127 acres, which could be a huge obstacle to me finding the little fellows. That’s a big place to find such a tiny bird!

I prayed my normal prayer, “Lord, show me or bring to me what you want me to photograph.” My prayer was answered!

For two hours, I had the privilege of photographing and taking video of this male rufous hummingbird. In the video, he gets real chatty with another hummer around 39 seconds, so watch the whole video:)

"Therefore, I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." Mark 11:24

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Philippians 4:6

"Commit everything you do to the LORD. Trust him, and he will help you." Psalm 37:5

Jamaican Mango

“Jamaican Mango”

This little mango hummingbird is a beauty, especially when his colors pop in the proper light. His nickname is the black hummingbird because, without proper lighting, he appears black.

He is indigenous to Jamaica, so if you want to see him, you have to take a trip there!  I look forward to seeing them again when I go back!!

Location: Anchovy, Jamaica

Did you know the green tree frog is the official state amphibian of Georgia?

  

Thanks to a sweet friend who found the frog and another friend who helped me put him where I wanted him, I was able to get this shot! Needless to say, we had a hopping good time trying to do so!!

This photo was taken at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia, Athens, Georgia.

Immature male ruby-throated hummingbird

I noticed there was an injury to this hummingbird’s beak. Maybe he got it caught in the mesh on someone’s back patio. I think he will be easy to spot this year!

Anyone else excited to see them next month?
