After a brief hiatus, the hummingbirds have come back to our
feeders in droves. Perhaps it was the new fuchsia plant which
attracted them. Suddenly they're swooping and diving, wheeling
around beak-to-tail, zooming high and low, here and there. Tim
calls it 'Hummingbird Wars' and it's fun to watch. Now and then
they stop for a big drink or two from the feeders and the plant.
I've had to refill the feeders twice as often.
I snapped a few pictures today through the glass patio door.

Hey! Wassup
with this cottonwood fluff in my feathers? I'm NOT impressed!
|
|
|
If I find the right
spot in a sunbreak, you will see my pretty feathers.

There is always
someone coming...
|
|
|
|
...or going.

Our Flyby Café offers a choice of handcrafted...

|
|
...or organic nectar.
|
|
|
It's a cozy place
to have a leisurely meal with your sweetie.

Eeek, talk about
being caught in the wind and sun! I feel like I'm in an episode of Grimm!

An amazingly long
hummingbird tongue is the only thing in focus in this picture.
I used to worry that their beaks were too short to reach the nectar.
Hah! Not any more.
