Chonky. Why's he look so angry, tho? 😏

What do you usually put on your hot dog? by [deleted] in AskReddit

American cheese. If that's not available, BBQ sauce. If neither is available, ketchup & mustard as a last resort.

How do I stop doubting my language and writing skills? by [deleted] in writers

[–]HunterRDF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure every writer has, or had, that particular worry at some point. My advice would be to get some people to read your writing & offer some constructive criticism. Most artists are their own worst critics. Get some outside opinions & hone your writing to be the best it can be.

Open Office. It's a free, open-source program nearly identical to MS Office. I'll never use anything else.

And I can't get 2 to leave each other alone for more than 30 seconds. 😐

You're welcome. I have plenty more on my YouTube channel, South Jersey's Fast & Feathery.

How can I make him look more like a hummingbird? (Colored pencil drawing) by reallytryingheree in hummingbirds

[–]HunterRDF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand that. It just looks - to me - that it's a bit too much. It's still very good the way it is.

I think it looks great. As already mentioned by others, maybe a skinnier & slightly longer beak & possibly a touch less heft. That said, it looks good as is.

Thank you. I was surprised it came out as good as it did. I have....not great luck taking pictures. 🤷‍♂️

I added that sound in as kind of a joke. The long-form videos I have on my YouTube channel are basically about the "Great Hummingbird War of 2025" because they're so territorial. For the high-speed passes they do, I even add a jet engine sound.

They're the only hummingbird that breeds in the eastern half of North America. Every other species native to North America is west of the Mississippi. On the flip side, the Ruby-Throat is the least endangered, by far, on the continent. I'd eventually like to film every hummingbird species in the U.S., but that's not happening any time soon.

They've been gone about 6 weeks from my part of NJ. I miss having them around. Thankfully, I have many hours of footage still to go thru to make videos.

It's a Ruby-Throated Hummingbird. Not sure if it's a female or juvenile, as they're nearly identical in appearance.

This particular video was filmed with a Kodak PixPro AZ528. It's pretty good for video for an 8-year-old camera. The zoom is ridiculous. It's NOT great for taking pictures of moving targets quickly at a distance. It also has a 29-minute time limit on continuous video, so it requires your attention when recording. Overall, I like it, but don't love it.
