Handsome Mr. Hummer

The hummingbirds are busy tanking up for their fall migration. This includes lots of nectar sipping and fighting. They fly like aerial stunt pilots, doing barrel rolls, and practicing fencing moves with their beaks. If we're sitting in our patio chairs it can seem pretty dangerous! In the extra you can see a juvenile male with streaks, but no gorget feathers yet.

Many many thanks for the wonderful outpouring of such kind and  humbling comments yesterday on my 4500th post. I love this community with my whole heart  and the people who make the magic happen for us. Many thanks.

For the Record,
This day came in a bit cooler, but still humid. Things have perked up with out recent torrential rain storms.

All hands begging for PEACE.
