This morning I heard laughter coming from the kitchen while daddy was cooking breakfast. Our little one was saying "go, go, go!!" Hubby came in to wake me up and said I had to come see this hummingbird fight. I had been going on for over 5 minutes! These two hummingbirds kept chasing after each other, not letting the other get a drink from the hummingbird feeder. It was quite funny!
We went for a couple months without food for our birds, so we were hoping now that we have some feed out there again they would come back. Sure enough they have and now the kids are experiencing what 'molting' means. Our poor cardinals and blue jays are half naked!! One blue jay was featherless on his head and we could only recognize it by the feathers left on his body. They look pretty pitiful!
That would certainly be amusing watching the Hummingbirds after each other like that.I have never seen naked Cardinals and Blue Jays.Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHummingbirds can be quite entertaining! When they get in their fight mode you don't want to be in their way. I almost got in between two of them fighting on our back deck. I had to duck to move out of the way. It was quite funny. I do love birdwatching. Glad you all are enjoying them.
