Backyard bird watching

[Raven]

yeah,
i have a huge bush of catnip growing thats gone to seed
little tiny black ones the size of poppy seeds
and they seem to love that stuff....
i'm trying to harvest it tho, so since i bought expensive
finch mix at the feed store...i shoo them away often

I never realized our territorial humming birds are.
they fight each other off for the feeder and hog it.
I don't know what kind these are but the males are cool looking.

usually ruby throats

i sometimes sit in the back yard and this ruby throated humming
bird is doing LAPS around the house at mach1
to keep any intruders from pilfering his stash.

when i sit in the front, the hummbird comes down to me and hovers
right in front of my face doing facial recognition i suppose
and stays there for a full 30 seconds before jetting back to his spot
almost as if to say.... thanks.
