ruby-throated hummingbird - male

No not crack. Hummingbirds! I love these little devils. I put up two feeders and read up on them and all the different species. So far I think I’ve distinguished four or five different types coming to the feeders. And there must be about ten of them and I’ve only had the feeders out for two days!

I’m going to start work on a hummingbird journal. I’m taking pictures of them and then putting them into the journal along with sketches, records of their behavior, little bird poems and whatever else I think of that’s hummingbird related.

Tomorrow we’re going camping with friends up at Lake Abiquiu. I’ll be trading hummingbird watching for a weekend of swimming, fishing and barbq.
