It's a rare day in Central Texas for a 100-degree day to turn into an 80-degree rainy day. This is a rare day. It also brought the birds out. Enjoy.
Sunday afternoon this hummer was avoiding the guardians of the zinnias and feeders. Nobody seem to care if she was out at the volunteer lantana. I figure the mouth is hangin' open because it is 100 degrees out!
And prior to the rain storm blowing in today, this young Black-chinned was hanging out in the oaks off the office deck. Yeah, hot enough to make a hummer pant!
The feeder closest to the open window.
Backin' away.
The guardian was headed in for the challenge.
While we enjoyed supper on the porch, the Yellow-crowned Night Heron was enjoying the rain on the pond.
And a young male Ruby-throated was eye-balling a drop of rain, curious thing.
Evidence of the rain, and no one to chase him away from the feeder.
First time I've seen a hummer go to the blooming basil plant to check out the nectar.
Lot of shimmering green in that back!
