Mom always loved to watch the Anna's mid-air mating dance. It's
hilarious. :-)

Are they nesting in your yard?



They fly around here all the time but if there's a nest on my actual
property I can't find it. My daughter's got two nests at her place and I
think my son said he had one at his place too.

I think they're kind of PO'd at me because I changed the feeder from the
disc type with the footrails you've seen in a lot of my shots to the smaller
vertical tube type with no footrest the other day. They pretty much made
themselves scarce the past coupla days. I don't even hear them twittering
away at me while they sit in my trees. It's eerie. Do you think they hold
a grudge?


They ARE pretty smart! :-)
When we lived in CA, mom used to fill 3 1 liter feeders a couple of
times per day.

They'd hover in the livingroom picture window when the feeders got empty
and BEG! g
