Bees N Blooms

This month I scoured though my collection of images and videos about birds and bees. After awhile, I decided to split the topics to "Birds-spied Views" and "Bees N Blooms".

The video includes bees in or near a century plant (agave), thread-leaf agave, sotol plants, prickly pear cacti, long-stemmed blue flower clusters, and magnolia blooms. I shot the targets in 2020 and 2021, mostly in May and June. The oddity was the thread-leaf agave. Its stalk bloomed and attracted the bee hordes in November 2020.

Birds-spied Views

This month I scoured though my collection of images and videos about birds and bees. After awhile, I decided to split the topics to "Birds-spied Views" and "Bees N Blooms".

The video includes hawks, mockingbirds, owls, cardinals, cedar waxwings, and turkey vultures. Some are perched, in flight, swooping. on foot, or combined spottings.  I shot the targets from 2019 through part of 2023.
