Three months ago, I left the place I refer to as my home. When I came back, I realized that the cleaning fairy, was obviously on strike... and that the dust fairy, was making some serious overtime!
A few steps back...
As I approached my front door, I noticed that my hummingbird feeder was empty. A few days ago, I saw that they, the hummingbirds, are still here. So as one of these hummers came up to me, as I took the feeder down, it approached and hovered, I was awestruck!
It seemed like a long time, although it was only a few seconds...
Today, a few days later, I am once again enjoying them... like this morning, as the sun was coming up, and I noticed the shadows flitting about...
There is a dominant male in the Palo Verde across from me... He is probably the one that challenged me when I took the feeder down to refill it a few days ago. Today, he is protecting this food source. Three hummers, can make a wren very unhappy!!!
The other morning, I watched as a wren tried to grasp onto the feeder. Within seconds, probably milliseconds, there were three hummers that swooped in, and made this wren flutter, then fly off.
Nature provided the answer.
