Duck & Cover!! The Hummingbirds have gone nuts!

The last few days, I think the hummingbirds have gone nuts or something. Everytime you look out the window, they are bobbing and weaving around the feeders. Bill went out on the back porch to smoke, and he said you have to be real careful or you'll get hit by a hummingbird! I was sitting out front watching birds yesterday, and one came right in front of me and hovered for a bit checking out my tie dyed shirt, LOL!

They look like they're playing tag or something. One female perches on the feeder hanger as if it's base, and when the others come around, she dives down and tags them. It's very interesting to watch.

Actually, I think it's the mating ritual, but I'd rather think they're playing tag, LOL!

If you come to my house, be sure to Duck...and Cover!!

I thought the mating game was in the spring. It's too hot to mate in July. I think the heat has fried their little bird brains.

Love,

MOM
