The rrrrrrrrrrrr....of the Hummingbirds !
On our kitchen window is attached a hummingbird feeder; it provides delightful minutes of on-the-spot bird-watching. The hummingbirds are oblivious to my washing dishes, preparing meals, etc. Did you know that a hummingbird can rotate its wings in a circle, they are the only bird that can fly forwards, backwards, up, down ,sideways and hover in mid air? Because they beat their wings 80 times a second, it is difficult to capture them with a camera. The birds are highly territorial, and thus don't share the feeder. I am enjoying 'em while they last--migration to Mexico is right around the corner! Ferris Bueller said life goes quickly. We need to stop and check out the small stuff before it ends!
