Flowerbeds, Finches and Hummingbirds
Tonight this little hatch-year sub adult male Rufous posed long enough for me to snap him with my digital camera. He had just finished fighting an aerial battle with another young hummer. As he lies in wait for the return of his arch enemy he appears to be saying "I dare you to just try and get to my honeysuckle."
Then on the oppposite fence line the goldfinch were chattering as only finch can do. They were shy and flew away when I approached their communal bird bath. After they flitted off to the hanging sunflower seeder they didn't seem to care about my camera any more. In fact, notice that the one on right center was looking right at the lens saying "chee chee cheeze."
As for me, my destination tonight was the flower bed that runs between the fences. I was supposed to dead-head and weed.
Oh well..................... a wise woman named Scarlet once said, "After all, tomorrow is another day." (oh yeah.. and it's Friday, too)
