Young Hummingbird Transporter
Posted by Lee (Fort Frances Ontario, Canada) on 5 June 2009 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
Still not back yet.
Sorry I missed you. I'll catch up when I get back.
It's not often you get to see a gossling without a parent nearby. And if you do get to see one, it's under mom and dad's close protection. Once mom and dad saw me, the commotion started. The honking hissing and wing flapping and charging to scare me off while this little guy took off and joined the rest of the family. Once all in a tight group they swam off away from me to carry on their normal routines.
Thank you for visiting my site. I consider myself to be lucky living where I do. Everyday I wake up to a wealth of interesting visual scenarios. Most of my pictures are Wildlife and Nature taken from around the area. The area specifically being Fort Frances Ontario on beautiful Rainy Lake. Feel free to comment on what you see. I look forward to hearing from you. If you like what you see, please rate it. Better yet, bookmark the site and drop back often. I will be posting daily.

Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
Such a golden reflection, it's a phenomenal photo, worth upsetting mom and dad a bit ;)

@Lorraine: Thanks Lorraine. However, They were not upset. They just casually swam off with the rest of the goslings. This one was directly behind them. It took no time to catch up. They continued about their day.
@Marion: Thanks Marion. I caught his one rather well if I may say so myself.
@Alun Lambert: Thank you very much.
@Onlymehdi: Thank you

Susan from Fort Lauderdale, FL, United States
Wonderful shot!! Is hummingbird transporter the actual name of the bird????

@Susan: Thanks Susan. On Apr 21st I posted a Silly Tuesday shot with some hummingbirds on geese backs. That's why I chose this title. Thank you for noticing. And Thank you for reading.
@zOOm: Thank you Florence.
@Loner: Thank you.

Denise from Duncannon, United States
So innocent, can't figure out the title though, am I dense????

@Denise: You are Denise. I am very pleased you asked. You read and pay attention to details. I like that. On Apr 21st I posted a shot of Canada Geese flying. I had added some hummingbirds into the shot for Silly Tuesday. That is the reason I titled this shot "Future Hummingbird Transporter". I thank you for your support and savvy questions.
@jamesy: Thank you.
Susan from Fort Lauderdale, FL, United States
ok, here's how "dumb & gullible" I am... I tried searching on google for the bird called "hummingbird transporter" !! Nothing came up, and I STILL didn't realize what your true intent was!! And now I don't feel so bad, since who can remember a shot they saw in April, when it's already June, and there are SOOOOO many shots each day to look at !! :)
And just so you know, I ALWAYS read what the photographer writes in their descriptions.....Sometimes, it helps you to understand the shot! But obviously, not always!! :)

@Susan: I do not expect everyone to remember all my shots Susan. You asked, I was just explaining where I got the title from. Thank you for your support.
@mats: Yes Mats, he ws giving me that eye.
@frederique: Thank you Frederique.
