One of the little male hummers decided to be cooperative when I was outside and wanted to take a picture of him. This is the little guy slurping from my feeder. Soooo tiny and cute, isn't he? He's around the feeder quite a bit. And the sparrows and finches are eating me out of house and birdseed. I'm back to filling the feeders about every other day. Remind me again, was I looking forward to them all coming back? There are enough of them that they squabble for places on the feeder.
I also have a fox squirrel who forages underneath both feeders. He/she/it has no qualms about hanging out amid the birds on the patio and getting his share of seeds. So far he hasn't tried to get them from the feeders directly, just those dropped on the ground by the birds. The girls and I were outside early this afternoon, not really doing anything, just checking out how things are growing. It was really nice out and the cat-kids hung out a bit out there.
I went shopping this morning, trying to get some gifts bought for Mother's Day and Father's Day. Early I know, but I'm traveling a bit the next couple months and this will be my last free weekend for a while. So I thought I'd take advantage of it. The Mall was packed!!!! Everyone was out hitting the Easter sales apparently. Not my favorite shopping experience but what can you do?
I discovered this week that I need a visa to go to Turkey. I'm going there in June for two back-to-back meetings. Luckily, it's very easy to get a visa online from the Turkish site. I'm on the organizing committee for one of the meetings, so I'll be busy at that one. I'm hoping to have a little time to do some sight-seeing during the second meeting. Anyway, not much to say today. Just thought I'd post some pictures of the girls outside today and the little hummer.
