Hummingbirds in flight, Orioles and a Wren (ecoTrain)
Finally I photographed a Hummingbird in flight. Which was not an easy feat. It's difficult to get them fully in focus, but here are the best.
Notice that the bird learned that it can put his beak straight through the flower to get to the nectar. I found that very clever. If anyone knows what plant this is, please let me know.
I don't know the name of this hummingbird. I could not find it on Google. Maybe somebody can help me?
This is a different type, I photographed yesterday.
It's the same as this one I photographed a couple of weeks ago.
@jerrybanfield liked an older post of mine about hummingbirds. Maybe you want to check it out. Thank you Jerry.

This is a short video about hummingbirds I posted earlier on steemit.
This morning there were also a pair of Orioles in the garden. It could be Icterus nigrogularis, but I'm not sure. They are nesting nearby, so maybe we will see some baby Orioles in the garden.
Finally I want to share this little Wren sitting in a Moringa tree. It could be a House Wren; Troglodytus musculus. These birds have a lovely, bright and happy song. They are also brave, often coming into our house looking for bread crumbs on the kitchen floor.
The Moringa tree is also known as the miracle tree. It contains more vitamin C than an orange and more potassium than a banana. If I remember correctly. Use it in a smoothy or dry the leaves and have yourself a cup of thee full of antioxidants.
And while your here check out this great content on the ecoTrain.
Thank you and much love,

Thank you.
You did an amazing job capturing a Hummingbird! They are so fast that I usually only see a blur or a quick glimpse. You really did great. The Wren and Oriole pictures were also nice to see in their natural environment. Thank-you for sharing. I hope you have a great weekend! :D
Thank you. I hope I can share better ones in the future. But they are fast indeed and usually shy. Have a great weekend. Thanks again.
Some wonderful photography skills you got there! Thanks for another tranquil post @Gardenbsquared.
Thank you. More tranquil posts coming up.
Wonderful pictures, you did really well to capture such beauty on a camera.
Thanks for sharing @gardenbsquared
I'm glad you enjoyed them. Thank you.
Beautiful, I believe that one humming bird is a type of broad billed hummingbird. Great job they are hard to catch. We were lucky to have rare albino humming bird show up two years in a row in Santa Cruz up at the university causing bird watchers to flock there.
Fantastic. Thank you. A broad billed hummingbird. I'm fairly new to hummingbirds. It's just over the last couple of months that they are frequently visiting our garden. I'm looking forward to your project.
me too!! Ill be gone for about... 4-5 days then I will be all over it.
Great, have a lovely holiday.
Stunning photography and my god humming birds are such amazing creatures , thanks for sharing :)
They are indeed. Thank you.
