The hummingbirds seem to be more active in the last couple of cold mornings. Once the sun hits the flowers, there are lots of them zooming around the park. Across the road there is a patch of desert, where we take the dogs to run, and there has been a solitary shimmering, emerald-green hummer over there for a few mornings now. He sits on the top branch of a big sage brush and chatters away like a budgie. Today I got quite close to him and got a few photos. When I got to about 10 feet of him, he buzzed over to see what I was doing, then took off. We are pulling out tomorrow for Arizona, and I shall miss my little sentinel of the desert...
