They are very bold little birds, not afraid of anything. I have seen one dive bombing a brown goshawk, a stealthy predator, while all the other little birds were hiding. The goshawk looked perturbed and nonplussed by the much smaller attacker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not know about this display until I went into Lincoln for something else. Only saw the two I photographed. Apparently there are 12 of them on display about the city so may capture some more if I can get into Lincoln before the middle of September.

IKuzmin Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 (edited) Perhaps I could post a couple of these images in the POTM “Summer Mornings” but that topic became recently not only worthless but ridiculous. Therefore, just here. Sunrise over the TX coastal wetlands. A sun worship Towards the new day Singing to the skies The same with a piece of the habitat Last year I was all of a sudden impressed by some features of the passion vine, including the bracts surrounding its buds and fruits, and strange flowers. Then I observed that only large carpenter bees, and occasionally bumble bees were feeding from these flowers, with all variety of other insects passing by and never stopping. It appears to me that the passionflower is adapted to pollination by large bees. Its pistil and stamens form a large structure on a stalk. Anthers of stamens and pistil stigmas are directed downwards, hanging above the deep narrow space filled with nectar at the base of the stalk. This structure prevents feeding of many butterflies whereas small insects just cannot reach nectar that is too deep. Conversely, large bees have right size for feeding from these flowers and pollinating them by their hairy backs. This year went back to this subject... So, a carpenter bee approaching a passionflower That’s how the feeding and pollination happens Adding colors of blue sky Edited August 26 by IKuzmin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
