Hummingbird Wars



We've enjoyed watching our hummingbird feeders the last couple weeks. A male black-chinned hummingbird has claimed them as his territory and he allows his mate to drink from them, but angrily chirps as he chases all the other hummingbirds away. Then he buzzes back to sit in the tree, waiting for them to come back so he can chase them off again. Or they sneak up and take a sip before he notices. 

We've also watched a couple battle between hummingbird and wasp. Highly entertaining :)

In other-sad-to-some-but-I-don't-mind-not-having-to-protect-every-single-spider-in-the-backyard-because-it-could-be-one-of-Charlotte's-babies news, our deck spider Charlotte has disappeared. There have been a couple super windy days and now she's missing.
