I was just trying to get a few shots of Humphrey when violence erupted. I heard hummingbirds are very territorial, but getting grabbed by your beak and thrown off your seat? I will attempt to negotiate a nectar feeding treaty between the two parties but the hatered goes pretty deep.

Feeding time
I don’t think the duckies had any idea how close they came to getting eaten.
Getting my ducks in a row
The new duckies were frolicking around.
Humphrey in good light
Humphrey the hummer had good light on em today and asked me to take a photograph.
Lagoon crowding
This year we have multiple duck families in competition for the lagoon rights.
Blind Ducky
I found a blind ducky in our lagoon. It was just swimming in circles and appeared to be in distress. I scooped it up and we took it in for a bit of comfort. Unfortunately it didn’t make it, but I suppose it was better than being eaten by a night heron.
It’s the Egret fishing show
The egret was putting on a fishing show this afternoon. The ducks weren’t impressed as they’re vegan.
Burdville 2021
Got a glimpse at this years 1st little duckies. Of course the egret & the hummer couldn’t be upstaged so they made an appearance.
Egret Sunrise
Shot a egret this morning.
Full Weekend
We stopped by to see Mom then drove down to Temecula to see Cheryl, then the Dalisay Wedding and finally a quick visit with Tawny. I’m so tired.
