Summer is Gone

When summer is over the little Ana Humming birds leaves. They are the green ones with a red throat. Only the little brown year rounders stays. These are very tiny and look the size of a small cotton ball. No more sitting outside and listening to them fight or watching them as I wash dishes. No more being ordered to fill their feeder when it is empty. Taking a break from fighting. Fighting is what they love to do this all day long. I think sword fighting is their hobby. All too hyper. But, you would be hyper too if all you ate was sugar and all day long. They are out fighting, when it is barely light in the morning and the last to go to bed at night. Fun little birds to watch.

They are very territorial. No one else can drink from their feeder. Hiding to protect the feeder from another humming bird. There is enough food for everyone, but no you can't share. Putting up several feeder still don't help.


Our little brown year around humming bird.

I love watching them, as you can tell.
