Little to Big

[yourlibrarian]

Over the past week we were able to grab these photos of the tiniest to a pretty big bird. We have two battling hummingbirds at our balcony feeder. One has taken to staking out the feeder by perching on our tomato plant cage below. Unfortunately this means it's always backlit but we still liked the pic.



We also heard the ducks making a bit of a ruckus the other day. After a look around we spotted the reason -- a circling Cooper's Hawk.

Ooh, fantastic!

I so wish I'd got a better look at a hummingbird when I was in the US in 2012.

We only get the one kind but apparently Arizona is a good place to go to see a variety of them.

I just moved from the desert southwest to a green, rural area in the northeast, and I can't wait to get some bird feeders so my yard has lots of visitors! Especially as the seasons get colder.

I'll bet you get a good crowd. The birdies tend to be our mealtime entertainment :)
