Reagan's Queen Anne ~ Summer
Hummers battle for position
From May to October, more than two dozen resident
hummingbirds
perform their aerobatics daily for guests to enjoy.
Recently, battles
for control of the 9 feeders have been furious.
Some ports have been "shared" by two birds at a time!
These little jewels zip, dive, dart, suspend themselves with
fanned tails,
and squeak continuously, as they fight for
positioning on the feeders.
...Such delightful and Free entertainment!
(From the kitchen window...Can you count 5? Hint : One is very
blurred and behind a perch, only the tail visible.)
Backyard Koi Pond
Be sure to visit the backyard waterfall and Koi pond.
Judy has raised her fish from fingerlings, with some growing to
more than 26" long!
The Butterfly Koi and his four Koi friends are joined by one
Fantail,
one Shubunkin and one Fancy Comet.
The fish greet guests with open mouths, as if to say "Hello",
and "FEED
ME!" |
