Backyard bird watching

[PRBuzz]

Couple pictures from this morning. The goldfinches are around all the time, but I wasn't out more than 2-3min when the hummer showed up!

finally have two hummingbirds fighting over the front feeder
and with the cooler mornings ->feeding at 15 minute intervals

my smaller sunflower seed feeders are emptied every other day by those goldfinches
and the RBG's, goin thru prolly a quart of seed .... they's a munchin

will do experiment.... 2nite .....and fill it at midnite to see if some 4 leggers are helpin

they are sure eating my big tomato's --> bastids

nope just damned racoons in the corn thus far,
but i just harvested it all so that ends that...
we ate some raw its so sweet...steaming some now for lunch

what a mess they make of it
....and hard to catch them in the act too....

because i'd chase em down with my old fashion weed slicer
shaped like a golf putter....
and lop their heads clean off...
next year!..... i'll have sleigh bells in the corn

i need a Super sharp samurai sword -LOL

finally got up to speed here
the hummingbird flower mix is now in full bloom
the seed mixture is most excellent i must say

now i have 3-4-5-6 battling for turns....

wicked cool because i'll be standing there watering the flowers
and the hummers go into hover mode with their tail feathers
fully spread (full flaps) and lookin large.....as they kinda "moon walk"
in forward motion every so slowly waiting to chase off the intruders

Nice shot Rav,

Amazing, their beaks are larger than their heads a this point.
