Humming into the Weekend on Nature Friday

 

 Happy July, or as I like to call it...

Rosy's Birthday Month!! In honor of such a special month, I thought we would look at my favorite birdies to visit our backyard, the hummingbirds!

 

 

  I love to watch them flit and fly from one feeder to the next! We have a few different kinds of hummingbirds,

but Mama is still up in the air on which on is which!

 

 

 

 Sometimes they eat while they fly!

 

 

 

 Just look at their little taloned feeties!

 

 

 

 

 

 Mama has a few different feeders for them.

 

 

 

 There is this one that has the nectar in the bottom of the feeder...

 

 

 

...and this one with the nectar stored in the top!

 

 But we both love watching them find lunch in the flowers! Here is one looking for lunch in the Texas Yucca blooms!

 

 

 

 Looks like he found a bit of pollen too!

 

 

That's a small look at our backyard hummers on parade!

 

We hope everyone's weekend goes hummingly!

From Mama: We will be on vacation for the next week or two while I travel to NJ to be with my sister upon the loss of her son. 

 

We hope to have an update for you next Friday.

Show us your nature! It can be flowers, your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a picture from a vacation, walk or other journey! Any kind of nature picture will do! If you don't see the link below, click HERE  to go to our Hoppity Page.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thankful for Quiet Moments

 

Today, we're thankful for the quiet mornings we spend on the back porch, just us girls.

 

 

 

Mama drinks her coffee, and we all snuggle together...

 

 

 

 

while we watch the sun rise over the back fence!

 

 

We can't think of a nicer way to start the day!

 

 

From Mama: We will be on vacation for the next week or two while I travel to NJ to be with my sister upon the loss of her son. 

 

We do have this week's Nature Friday scheduled, and hope to have an update for you next week.

Stormy Weather on Nature FFF

 

Welcome to that wonderful Friday each month where Nature Friday comes together with YAM Aunty's FFF!!  Make sure to visit YAM Aunty HERE to get the Rulez and join the FFF fun!!  

 

 Like Rosy mentioned yesterday, the weather here has cooled off a little and earlier this week Rosy and I experienced our very first Thunder Boomers.

 

Here is a little poem I wrote about them

 

 

Stormy Weather 

by Sunny

 

 

Tumbled skies rumble

dark and full of clouds 

In the house Rosy stumbles

as the thunder gets loud.

 

Mama and I sit on the porch very,very still 

We watch the rain, so hard it falls,

A beautiful way the time to kill

and I'm not scared at all!

 

 

 

Show us your nature! It can be flowers, your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a picture from a vacation, walk or other journey! Any kind of nature picture will do! If you don't see the link below, click HERE  to go to our Hoppity Page.

 

 

Thankful for Summer Breezes

 

 Like most of the rest of the country, New Mexico has had its share of hot weather so far this year. Luckily, the last few days some clouds have moved in and things have cooled off a bit.

 

 

 

 It's been nice to sit out on the back porch and enjoy a nice cool Summer breeze in the afternoon. 

 

 

In fact, I am so thankful for these breezes I only come inside when Mama bribes me with extra special treats

OR

When the sky rumbles

 

Stop by tomorrow to read Sunny's thoughts on sky rumblings for  FFF on Nature Friday!

Special Visitors on Nature Friday

 

It's a beautiful Nature Friday here in New Mexico!  A pawfect time to show you some of the special feathered friends who have visited our backyard lately!

 

 These house finches may not be too special, but Mama and I love seeing them chattering at the "water cooler" in the morning

 

 

This Juvenile Cooper's Hawk has been stopping by almost every afternoon for an afternoon dip in the "pool"!

 

 

 This little guy is a Curved Bill Thrasher, he looks like he could be in a Muppet Movie, don't you think??

 

 

 He roams the backyard in the morning looking for breakfast bugs.

 

 

The next two visitors were our prettiest yet!

 

 

 

This pretty Western Kingbird likes to sit on top of the Texas Yucca flowers and scope things out...

 

 

 He's only stopped by a couple of times, but Mama and I love seeing his pretty yellow tummy!

 

Here we have a Black Crowned Night Heron who showed up one evening. Daddy saw him walking by the waterfall and by the time Mama stopped freaking out and got her camera,  he was in the tree in the backyard.

 

Mama saw these pretty herons at the Arcata Marsh while we were in California but, once again, we were amazed to learn they live down here too!!

 

  

 We hope you enjoyed seeing some of the cool birdies passing through our yard and hope you can get out and enjoy some nature this weekend!!

 

Show us your nature! It can be flowers, your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a picture from a vacation, walk or other journey! Any kind of nature picture will do! If you don't see the link below, click HERE  to go to our Hoppity Page.
