Pictures to share

As we haven't had anything interesting to write about, I thought we should share some of our animals that have entertained us from our windows.

Here is our little bunny friend munching up bird seed that got scattered when the wind blew the feeder off the hook. He/she started on one side and then rounded the corner continuing to eat until he/she was stuffed.
Here is one of our female house finches getting ready to take advantage of the hummingbird's nectar. Who knew they had a sweet tooth. It reminds us of the Lorikeets that we feed while at Pacheco Peak State Park in Arizona.
Here is nice shot of our female Broad-tailed Hummingbird. She always sits so prettily and is very calm when eating her nectar.
Here is an unusual shot were two hummingbirds are going to share the feeder as the same time.
We believe this is a female Black-chinned Hummingbird - nice in air shot.
Black-throated Sparrow enjoying a water break.
Here is a shot of our male Black-chinned Hummingbird. In the light, the area under his throat is a deep purple.
I like this shot of the female Broad-tailed Hummingbird that shows her beautiful tail.
Here is one of resident male House Finches taking a break on our satellite. His mate joined not soon after this picture was taken.
We have had such strong blustery winds that I wish I could have gotten a picture of the quail as even their top notches looked like they were having a bad hair day. It was somehow reassuring to see that even the birds were having issues with all the wind.

We hope you enjoyed our pictures.
