    Ruby-throated hummingbird

    In my birding adventures I have seen a couple of ruby-throated hummingbirds flitting from our garden plants. I don't have a feeder to feed them though. They appeared in the spring/summer months. They are tiny, and very quick so if you are not speedy you might miss seeing one! Just wanted to...

    How do you mount insects?

    There is where you and I agree to disagree. I see nothing morally wrong with mounting insects. I mean, I was a Pokemon master since I was 9 and even if it was just a video game I collected animals and taught them how to fight each other in competitions and win.

    Doesn't anyone on here use field guides?

    I mean that is what I have and use. Unfortunately all the field guides I own are for North America only. I need to buy some for other countries. https://www.google.com/search?q=field+guide&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=C9a3UsHnDYTjoATw_4HYBg&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1688&bih=828

    Bird Guide Books

    Stinkbug

    I know what a stinkbug is, I used my field guides to help me identify the last one I saw out in my garden. It is a small, green bug that is in the shape of a triangle.

    I own a few field guides

    I own a few field guides. I got them at Barnes and Noble booksellers and I basically bought them for study purposes. They have taught me a lot about birds when I was reading them.
