The humming birds came back this week, and have been very busy at the feeder. I haven't been able to get a good close up - they are so fast and we don't have a suitable camera, so I am using a free wallpaper. We just love these little guys and I will keep trying to get a shot of the ones who have chosen to live with us.
This week there have been more birds and animals than usual. We usually see a deer or two driving home, and we even had a buck who liked to hang out in the shade of the car port last spring, but on Thursday there were 9 deer on our route home from work. No fawns, but plenty of adults. Our friend Linda found a handsome antler discarded on her lawn.
There must be a herring run because there has been literally hundreds of gulls at the beach at the end of our road, and we saw 14 eagles on a sand bank watching the water. At least 20 seals and sea lions, rolling and waving their flippers. I can hear their barking as I write this.
And of course the frogs are in full throat these days. It is great.
So I am off for a stroll, and this time will bring my camera.
