More on Birds and Sightings

While I was starting to write this post, a small female hummingbird lit on a
different branch of the plum tree.  I tried to get a picture of her; I don't think
my camera was cooperative though.  The leaves on the tree are much larger
than these little hummers.  She flew towards the feeder and I tried to move
quietly to that window.  She was a sassy one.  She only hesitated a split second
before flying to the window and looking at me.  And I fudged the camera
and didn't get the shot!

While re-potting three plants, some larger hummingbirds came to the feeder
and basically ignored me.  No camera--and covered with dirt!

After cleaning up, resting, I spotted several new birds: a female blue grosbeak.
The is a red rustic shade, similar but different from the female cardinal.  And
I have seen plenty of cardinals, male and female, and plenty of robins.
