Flittering and Fluttering

This week we have a couple of flittery hummingbirds for your enjoyment...

 

This is for Xena and Chia who were wondering what the hummers ate when they weren't at the feeders....

Don't get me wrong, they are mostly at the feeders...

For example, here is a short movie showing some of our "guests"

(or maybe we should call them summer squatters?) 

fluttering at the feeders:

 

You can also watch it HERE, on our YouTube Channel

Early in the Summer, they occasionally like to eat from the flowers.

Can you see all the pollen on his long beak?!

This time of year though, they mostly keep Mama busy rinsing their feeders and making them their sugar water diet daily....

Maybe it's Mama that's silly....and not the birds?

BOL

Rainbows and Sunnycorns on Nature Friday

The elusive Sunnycorn here today to show you that, even though it is Rosy's favorite part of Autumn, there are colorful, springlike things happening here in Northy North California!
 

 

 

 The other morning, after an evening of steady rain(Mama says it does that A LOT this time of year), we went outside for our morning walkies and saw this beautiful rainbow!!

 

 

 

 Actually,  Rosy says it is a DOUBLE rainbow.

How cool is that???

 

 

 

Almost as cool at an elusive Sunnycorn, right???

 

We hope your weekend is full of Rainbows and Sunnycorns!
