Backyard Wildlife

Postby Iroquois » Sat May 29, 2004 9:06 am

Just a single photo. Snapped this shot just this morning.

You have to look very carefully but you'll notice a hummingbird. Quite rare around here. I haven't seen one in ages. There seems to be all kinds of wildlife in my backyard this year.

Hummingbirds are neat, I have been lucky to have allot around my home, and oddly enough they are quite tame. I can get pretty close to them before they fly off.
Somedays I'll just sit on the porch and they will fly over to great me :)

That happens to me everyonce in while. Once I was eating an apple outside and one flew over and hovered a few inches from my left hand. They're awesome!  ;D
