The Hummingbirds Are Back!

Hummingbird

Migration this far north is right on time.

The first hummingbird of the season for me was spotted on July 12th. Yesterday, the little one played peek-a-boo over the Mexican Sage Bush. He would disappear behind the bush. After a couple of minutes, he would rise like a helicopter and hoover about a foot or two above the bush, always facing me in the car, then he would disappear again.  This routine kept happening for ten- minutes. Just as I would raise the camera, he would disappear again. Animals are jokers, just like some of the humans I know. And that---is not a bad thing!
