Wings on Wednesday....Birdies or Dinosaurs?!

 

So the other day, I was playing with my toy dinosaur when I noticed he looks like some of the birdies we see in the backyard!!

Here's a comparison....

Short movie of our birdies...

Don't even get me started on Roadrunners!

What do you think....

are birdies actually dinosaurs in disguise??

Wings on Wednesday

 Labor Day is right around the corner which means the hummingbirds will slowly start heading south over the next month or so...

We're going to miss their buzzy wings on the back porch....

Of course, we have some video to wrap up our

Hummer Summer Series...

You can also watch it HERE, on our YouTube Channel

Don't worry Hummy, Mama won't stop feeding you until you leave...

Birds aren't just silly, they're demanding too!!

 

Dueling Wings on Wednesday

Today, let's take a look at the "not so nice" side of our little hummingbird friends...

"GET OFF MY FEEDER!!"

Silly hummers think every feeder is theirs...until they don't BOL!

Sometimes they can be found sharing feeders like they are the best of friends and then 

POW! They want the feeders to themselves....

Here is a video of some of the silly hummer duels we've seen so far this season....

Sometimes you have to wonder just what goes on in their

little hummer minds.

What do you all think??

Do hummers have an agenda....or are they just silly?

 

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:

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

It's a Hummer Kind of Month

 

 

 It's the magical time of year where we have a variety of hummingbirds migrating through our area.

 

 

 Rufous, Allen and Broad Tail Hummingbirds have all joined our Black Chinned hummingbirds visiting the feeders.

 

 

This gives us a bouquet of colorful hummers!

 

 

Yes Dolly, Mama made a short video...

 

You can watch it HERE on our YouTube channel too

 

Because we have had so much Hummingbird drama, and Mama has been doing a bunch of spying on the hummers with her trail cam, we will be featuring hummers all during August on Wings on Wednesday!

Do you have lots hummers this time of year where you live??

Woody Woodpecker

 

Welcome to another episode of....

Birds are Silly, 

aka Wings on Wednesday!

Today, we have a very short video of our local

Woodpecker. Mama calls him Woody, after another ancient

cartoon.

You can also watch the video HERE, on our YouTube

Channel

Did you notice what he was eating?? Yep....not wood, not bugs,

it's suet from the bird feeder.

Just more proof that....

Birds are Silly!!
