Annas

I cannot believe that an Annas Hummingbird has found our new hummingbird feeder! How do they know there's a hummingbird feeder available in the middle of no where? Forry thought he saw something zip by the window and sure enough there was a hummingbird drinking from the new feeder.

I tried to get a picture, but I think taking part of the front window shade down frightened him away. I'll keep working at it. Today I changed the little containers and put fresh sugar water out. One of the containers was half empty, the other looked as though not much had been removed.

We also were visited this morning by a flock of Common and Great-tailed Grackles, who spent about an hour flitting all over the place. At this RV Resort, you are supposed to put your garbage bags out on the edge of the site in the morning by 10 AM when the fellows in the truck come around to pick it all up. The grackles have figured out that there may be food in those bags. They will peck away at them, trying to make a hole. They sort of go from the top of one RV to the next. It's funny to hear them walking on the roof, They sound like loud raindrops that start at one end and go to the other...

Our neighbors with the noisy dogs collapsed their canopy today and folded up all of their lawn chairs and put them away. It looks like they are getting ready to leave in the morning. That will be a good thing.
