Cathy, the ranch owner, is a bird breeder and she also feeds the hummingbirds who live on the ranch where I board my horses. She says all of these, except one, "Mr. Grumpy", are babies. The parents have flown off to parts unknown. I counted a dozen of them one morning. She has several feeders which she fills daily. It's fun to just sit and watch them. Yes, there is one adult male who chases off the others who get too close to "his" feeder! I enjoy their antics and they are now so tame that Cathy can walk right up to the feeders and the babies don't fly away.World Bird Wednesday for July 11, 2012. To view WBW, please go to:

I LOVE hummingbirds! We a feeder outside our kitchen window that attracts them. There is one who has been around for two years that we know of. She is pretty calm, but she doesn't like it when the commuting hummers to use "her" feeder!

ReplyDeleteJust wanted you to know that I added a linky to my newest bird photos today. If you'd care to stop by and leave a link. And perhaps if you know of anyone who loves birding--let them know of the new birding meme I set up for a weekly run---The Bird D'Pot. Stop by if you can. And have a glorious week.
