Saltery Lodge is FORSALE! See http://www.salterylodge.com/Sale/Alas... for more information.
A hand fed Hummingbird video that is amazing. Taming the Alaskan hummingbird. These hummingbirds were filmed at our lodge in Alaska, no feeder required!
Our lodge in Alaska has TONS of these little birds in the summer. Did you know their hearbeat can be as high as 1200 beats ber minute! Mother nature is amazing!
These adorable hummingbirds eat right out of our hands here at the lodge. While setting up the cameras for some more handfeeding, these two little hummingbirds gave us "the shot". Though I love the hummingbirds in Alaska, The majority only arrive after migrating from Mexico, looking for feeders along the way. Sometimes I wish we lived somewhere where we could watch baby hummingbirds in their nests. Some of those videos are amazing!
NOTE: We don't use red dye anymore. We use 4:1 Water to sugar only.
🌺🌺🌺♡█▄[̲̅o̲̅]♥[̲̅e̲̅] WHITE PEACOCK 🌺🌺🌺 http://youtu.be/kU99AEfbekc
PEAFOWL ☜❤☞ native to the jungles of India and Sri Lanka, have for centuries led a semi - domesticated existence in parks and gardens of the world. Peacocks use their beautiful tail feathers to attract the females (peahens) in breeding season. They actually can seem somewhat vain and proud of how they look to the 'ladies'. They raise and fan the feathers out, prance and strut while intermittently shaking their wing and tail feathers rapidly which make a loud rustling sound as they pose and show off their striking plumage. Generally the males and females lead separate lives. In the breeding season however, the males are polygamous, and mate with four or five females each breeding season. Although they are ground - living birds, they flap up into trees or other roosting spots off the ground away from predators.
PIED PEACOCK appear like regular india blues, except that they are speckled and splotched with white. Exceptional birds will have white on their backs and in their train.

New Guinea is a true garden of Eden for birds. Some of the most unique are birds of paradise. With plenty of food such as nuts and fruits and very few natural predators, they've been able to leisurely hone their courting skills. The ribbon-tailed astrapia flaps its long white tail feathers, while the blue bird-of-paradise unfurls its feathers to create a pulsating eye-like shape. Since they live deep in the jungle, their courtship displays have long been steeped in mystery. Tadashi Shimada, a wildlife photographer who's made numerous visits to New Guinea over the years, has for the first time ever captured images of the blue bird-of-paradise's courting behavior. This program delves into the fascinating world of these beautiful and mysterious birds.
A friend of mine sent me an email with all these beautiful bird pictures and I decided to make a slide show. Hope you enjoy it.

The same technology used to locate lost pets is now being used to track common backyard birds. Scientists and students at the Cornell Lab have collected data on hundreds of thousands of feeder visits so far by Black-capped Chickadees and other birds. Tiny tags weighing less than one-tenth of a gram are attached to the birds' legs and are detected each time the birds visit specially-rigged feeders. Watch this in which David Bonter describes the radio frequency identification (RFID) technique and what we can learn by keeping track of who's coming to dinner.
