Bee Watching and more.....
Sadie is facinated with Bee's she chases them, watches them forever and a day. This one particular bee was a big bumble boy who kept buzzing around her for a long time. Unfortunately he's not in the shot, but she is watching him!

My cats are also chasing bumble-bees,flies and anything else that moves. Yesterday we opened the patio umbrella and a bee was busy building a nest,I hated to do it,but it had to be destroyed,cannot have a bees-nest over the table,we would not get many guests Today I also saw my first Hummingbird of the year,OMG he was absolutely beautiful,I got soooo excited!! Oh well,it's the little things,right

OMG, hummers are my thing. Here in Calif. we have them year round. In my area, I get Annas and sometimes, Black Chin hummers. This is a pix of a little female Annas sitting on my finger.

Glasslass,everything in my garden is planted for hummers and butterflies and I have birdfeeders,birdbaths etc....You are lucky,I only see the odd Hummingbird,this one had a red throat,greyish wings and greeny body,probably redthroated something,right?
In California of course you would not know how it feels,after a long dreary winter,to see things bloom and come alive,watching different birds return,I'm on an absolute high when I discover a new bird or something as uncommon in my garden,as a hummingbird.Maybe he'll be back,I just changed the sugary stuff in the feeder...got to keep my eyes peeled and my bifocals on Very nice pic by the way!!!

I wish I had more! That was a 1-time thrill! I was at a friend's home who had the camera all mounted and ready. Then he told me what to do when the hummer began to approach the feeder. And it worked!!! I could just feel her little feet and she was completely at ease. I was on a high for a week! The male Annas have a dark head and throat that glows ruby red in the sunlight. The Black Chin also has a narrow edge of purple below the dark section of the throat. I keep a feeder also and planted trumpet flowers. My cat leaves them alone. She watches them but evidently realizes she can't get them.

Yes,the cat phenomena is strange,I was just sitting there admiring my garden,when this little thing dove for my flowers,I thought it was a butterfly first.The cats(3)would normally go for any butterfly but did not budge for the hummingbird,not that I would let them!!!
Vinnie my youngest cat caught a redwinged Blackbird a couple of days ago,but we rescued it and it flew off,no damage done. Since I am out with the cats all the time,I keep an eye on them try to make sure they don't catch any birds or any big butterflies. And Luba is right,I am a bird-nut or I should say,a nut in general

Ladies I'm sorry I'm a bad bad bad mommie
Sadie and Tanner have been going steady for almost three months now! He is very protective of her but not controlling and she is playful but not flirty with the other boys she meets If I think she's getting just a little too friendly all I have to say is..."hey missy what do you think Tanner will say about this" and she smartens right up I tell ya! I will put pics up of them very soon, I have forgotten so many times to take the camera with me but I've been more diligent now You'll love Tanner he's such a sweetie!

nope, sadly no hummers, i have seen them on tv and i think they are amazing, the way they stay in one place while feeding in the air, just amazing. our smallest birds are our honey eaters and fairy wren, both which come in at around 10-15cm, hummers are smaller than that arent they??. we do get alot of migratory species but nothing like the hummers
and sadie, a boyfriend , oh my she really is growing up |

I want to see pictures of you loading the animals into the ark! All neutered of course! Or, is that defeating the purpose!
Actually, it was pretty easy. They're greedy little things. Stand right below the feeder with your finger near it. About 2 feet below it. When the hummer comes in, she'll stop to look you over. Stand perfectly still. She'll move in a little closer. When she's coming closer, gradually move your finger closer to the feeder. Stop when she stops; move closer when she does. Time it to arrive at the feeder at the same time. Move your finger up under her as she begins drinking. Her little feet will drop right down onto your finger. I tried to move my finger down a couple inches and she stayed up drinking at the feeder. When I moved it back up, her feet dropped down again. My friend says only the females are laid back enough to do this. The males will try to drive you away. This friend was a bachelor at the time and didn't have any other flowers in his backyard to distract the hummer. Now he's married and he and his wife rescue cats. I don't think he has a feeder any more. |
