A hummingbird is on a slender horizontal stem, body turned to our right for a profile, head turned slightly towards camera. It has brown and red feathering, but a very conspicuous patch of white above its beak. There are purple flowers to the right and upper left of the photo.

Two diagonal branches cross each other. On the near one, rising, a yellow bird with white blotches faces us, looking to our right. On the far branch, descending, are two more of the same type of bird. The one on the left has its body facing away, but head turned to our right. It has black and white wing bars. The one on the right looks very similar to the first bird, but lacks the white blotches. The vegetation around is green and springlike.

🪶 For Alan's @alan678.bsky.social alt of #WhatTheFlock any capture of three or more of the same bird, a triumvirate of American goldfinches is keeping a watch on things. #birds #photography

Looks very peaceful, Jean. Have a good one and stay warm.

Nicely done!

Nice themes and great picture, Alan.

Thanks, Jean! Eating healthy!

Thanks, Rob.

All eight of them...

You're right - I never thought of that!

They are a bit smaller than the regal and bold, but I have seen some that near that size.

You're very welcome! I'm no expert, but learning.

Hard to tell for sure, but if I'm seeing that third picture correctly, the black cap says Wilson's warbler to me.

A jumping spider is on the concrete between reddish bricks. It is mostly grayish, with a reddish band below the eyes.

🕷️ One of my favorite jumping #spiders, the grey jumper, is on the bricks for #macromonday. #photography #macro

A medium-sized bird, mostly mustard-colored, with white breast, grey head, white stripe over the eye, and a black throat, is on a diagonal branch upon which a banana has been placed. The bird has some banana in its beak, and is turned to look towards the camera.

🪶 Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social says today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ComeEatWithMe. This buff-throated saltator wants to share the banana. #birds #photography #costarica

Enjoy the trip! Should be a great time to be there.

Great to see Rafiki again! He is fixed on something; I would not want to be prey 😬

Great set, Rob.

We're having delightful weather the next few days, so I will definitely be out enjoying it. Have a good one, Jean.

Thanks, Rob.

Well done! It's too bad that the original bird feeder needed to be replaced. So nice, and with the sentimental attachment. But the new one is beautiful.
I've thought about putting up a weather station, but haven't taken any action yet. Maybe now...

Thank you!

They and the tufted titmouse are our most common visitors, but I don't get tired of them. Thanks!

Thanks, Alan. They are a plus to run across.

Thanks! They are something to see.

A rusty red bird is bent over, facing the camera and seeming to raise an angry eye at it. It is on a log with tome moss on it, with tropical vegetation around.

🪶 This one is for Alan's @alan678.bsky.social alt of #CaptionThis a funny caption with any bird capture. Someone can probably come up with a better one for this red-throated ant-tanager, but I was thinking, "Ants. I ordered ants." #birds #photography

Great set, Jayne.

Oops, not the alt. I forgot where the edit button is; can someone help? 😂

A pretty little bird on a diagonal branch. Mostly grey/white with a black bib and cap, and facing slightly left of camera. Green leaves behind.

🪶 Alan @alan678.bsky.social says, "The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ABCD, let’s do this, any bird beginning any part of their name with these letters. Extra points for a set using all." Here's the alt, with no extra points, a Carolina chickadee. #birds #photography

Thanks, Jean!

Nice picture, Alan, and this should be fun.
