This is my original artwork of a Carolina chickadee bird perched in a blossoming peach tree. This popular small bird is not shy around humans and is very animated and chatty. Its northern USA cousin is known as the black-capped chickadee.

The Scintillant Hummingbird (Selasphorus scintilla) is the smallest hummingbird within its range, which includes only the mountains of Costa Rica and western Panama. This is a male. This is one of the smallest birds in existence, marginally larger than the bee hummingbird. The male weighs 2 g (0.071 oz) and the female 2.3 g (0.081 oz). As it flies past it looks like a beetle in flight or a large bumble bee. Canon 6D, zoom lens. (Featured in Love These Creatures.)

Green Violetear Hummingbird, Colibri thalassinus, coming in to feed, La Savegre, Costa Rica. Canon 6D, zoom lens. (Featured in Closeups in Nature, and Other Groups.)

Bird flying freely as it should be! We were born to reach other worlds, give free rein to the imagination and never hold on to ties that make us unhappy. Fly, fly, climb, climb and reach the top of what we want....
