I usually move some of them on, but we have not been home enough to even try. I have at least two living here.

They are cute! Last time we had kids there were 4 of them. There might be more. The second one ran as soon as it saw me. This one was braver.

This came as an email. A guy in Alaska saw 4 deer out in the water, they swam up to him, he dropped the back if the boat and they came on and dropped.

So this ducks been hanging around the past few days. She noticed my baby pond, she couldn't get in with the screen I made, so she sat on top. Lol
I went out and took it off for a while.

Seven munchers had a party in the back field right at dusk, snacking away. They are fun to watch. They could see me in the windows, would totally pause and watch then back to munching. I went out and made a tiny noise and they were off, boy they can jump high when they want to .

We had 3 does in the yard this morning. They have no fear of people! Saw my first hummingbird at the feeder this morning as well. It must finally be spring!

Do you know why they Humm?

Let me tell you, their hum has scared me at least a dozen times.

I often sit near a feeder and all of the sudden I'll hear a loud buzzing next to my head. Always takes me a second to realize what it is.


Note to self: make hummingbird nectar tomorrow. They're arriving.

So what makes them hum? @Burd I assume it is something to do w/their feathers in fast flight.

 

[Burd]

They hum because they dont know the words, lol
