Hello, I just thought I would drop you a line and inform you that your website layout is really screwed up on the Firefox browser. Seems to work OK on Internet Explorer however. Anyhow keep up the great work.

There’s a little hummingbird that seems to live in my backyard and flies around all the time. It’s so pretty!

ditto for ours
I have a wasp guard wired on, as the sugar birds would pull them off when their beaks got stuck

the instructions said to use white vinegar for cleaning

Back during the drought I was having honey bees getting stuck and drowning in the bassins that I have as bird baths so there are now rocks for climbing out

The dog water had a baby sugarbird that couldn’t get out – Buster alerted us with a non-stop bark that he had never used before – glad we were home to rescue it

I watch the aerial dogfights nightly around our feeders. Among them I feel like slow motion Tommy Lardbucket. They move at such a high speed.

Hummingbirds are very territorial, we have a feeder on our porch and can watch it through our picture window. Those hummers fight like the RAF in a dogfight. Our resident rufous hummingbird male will sit on our weathervane at the end of the deck and watch for other hummers trying to feed. He will dive bomb at the intruder and chase it away from the house. Later in the summer, when they are stocking up on fuel for their retreat to warmer climates, they stop fussing and sometimes we will get five or six birds hovering around the feeder taking turns. They are truly a summer delight!
