my guess would be water levels from various years
they are here year round! its pouring here and they are still eating my food! LOLNope, they were put onto the tree way before the water levels went up....
nice pics, Katrina, and Spongey, your hummingbird pic reminds me to keep an eye out of the little buggers up here. They should be showing up any time in the next 2-4 weeks. With our mild weather, they could be earlier.
Hey Spongey. Great pics of the hummingbird! Take some shots with the flash up to see if you can get the iridescent colors to come out more. And post.
Kat - that chickadee photo is amazing! I'm with them every day and never get to see that much detail!
This one makes me miss my back porch when I lived in the L.A. area. Mine was 2nd floor overlooking the pool and fountain in a condo complex, and had those huge bird of paradise plants screening it. Overhead was the floor of my upstairs neighbor's porch, so I was pretty screened in. Used to fix a glass of wine after work and just sit there a while. Hummingbirds would come in and out around the bird of paradise, ignoring me and checking out the flowers and herbs I grew on the porch. It was like a little slice of heaven nestled in a world of insanity.
