I wanted a closer picture, but the little ones won't come to the window feeder when I'm standing there with a camera. Too "stalker'ish" for them I guess.


Aren't they just darlin'? Mama is showing the wee tikes where the good stuff is.

Where I lived for a bit at my folks house they were all over, and we of course had feeders for them, with red on them. I went out to have a smoke and I had red letters on my shirt.
Hummer, 10 feet away form me, *eye blink* bird not even a foot from my face, starring me down, I stared back, I did not now what to do! A gazillion times the size of the bird, but still afraid, seeing that pointy beak at eye level, really close up!
He figured out I was not a bird feeder, and I realized he would not poke my eyes out,
Quite a wonderful thing in my memory.

I've had finch and chickadee babies at my feeders. At first they demanded food but eventually got the hang of feeding themselves. I love watching them.
