Red Light District

Day 180: It's a little difficult to tell boys from girls when they're in the Red Light district. The Rufous Hummingbirds returned a few days ago, and I immediately cooked up a batch of nectar for them. This young lady preferred to dine in the red glow coming through the feeder. I almost mistook her for a male!

That said, this has been a great day for birdwatching in my own yard. I have seen both male and female Hummingbirds without any doubt, and had Red-Winged Blackbirds earlier this morning. If that wasn't enough, Mr. Raven allowed me to approach within twenty feet of him to deliver his breakfast to the crow board. I am sure he must be one of my resident pair or he would not be so bold.
