Hummingbirds

 Yesterday while deadheading I 

had a pair of hummingbirds visit.

The female landed next to me on 

the tomato cage while the male 

buzzed me to go in.  But the female

just sat there, I could hear a noise 

coming from her.  I slowly moved

to the other side of her and she didn't

move, soon the male joined her.  I

was shocked that they both sat there

watching, they must of approved.

I deadheaded two rose bushes before

they flew off.   What scared them off

was a couple local cats were trying to 

sneak into the yard.  Time for more

soap and pepper to go out.

I have had a female in the past come

sit on my shoulder and learned that the

long hair needs to be up!

I just love to see all the birds playing 

in our yard!  My favorite is the hummingbirds

and the yellow lowland finches.

Sad to say this but today I had to pick up

the 6th dead bird.
