The famous ‘Hummingbird Cabinet’ at the Natural History Museum, London.
Not quite on nowadays but this dates from 1800 so we’ll cut ‘em some slack.

Gonna miss this thread.
Thanks all for your contributions. It's been really great getting a chance to see many birds that I'm sure I would never have been able to otherwise see without the sharing that you've all done.
Hope to meet up somewhere along the line.

Haven't posted in a long time, why is this thread going south? My wife and I sold our house in Taos, NM and have been traveling in Mexico, Cali and the southwest for the last six months. We are in Tucson and thinking about settling here. If your in the area look me up.

I haven't paid much attention to the Taco in recent years, but when I did hear the news of its impending closure my very first thought was "oh no, the Birds thread!!" I think I enjoyed this thread and you fine folks, and all of your photos, more than any of the climbing content. Thanks, all!!
If you ever find yourself around Tahoe looking to join a bird outing, advice on finding certain species, etc., hit us up at www.tinsweb.org

As the witching hour looms, I thought I should post a couple photos to the most amiable ST thread that I know of. Haven't done much bird photography of late, but here goes.
I got permission to place a couple of nest boxes for Western Bluebirds to liven up the scene at the condo complex where we live. After erecting them in March, I began checking them intermittently. In early April, I was surprised to find a nest in one of the boxes that didn’t resemble a Bluebird nest.
I consulted my guide to bird nests, and saw that it must be a House Wren. The paper clip was even mentioned as a common item! The white blobs are spider eggs cases, also common. They are not uncommon in the general area, but pretty sparse along the Bay. Soon we saw a pair continuing on the nest building with the male singing from the nest box and nearby trees and shrubs.
I didn’t check frequently enough to confirm that they fledged young, but now there is a nest in the other box, presumably the same pair on a second clutch.
At a local park there have been Bluebirds annually using the two nest boxes that we installed a few years ago. I visited there about 10 days ago, and saw the female leave the nest, so took the opportunity to check the nest box. Lo and behold, 6 eggs.
Finally, a local Osprey nest where we have a nestcam, has two nestlings about 3 weeks of age. The hird didn’t survive a late May storm after wandering out form underneath the mom.
Oh yeah, these are all mine.
