Well geez…
It's been a while since we heard from that elusive Fuzz
But he is still hanging in there.
His life has been taking some unexpected turns, but that is a tale for another time-
if ever.
But there is a morning routine, at least for most mornings
And a big part of it is sitting out on the porch enjoying the birds
His sister, before she passed, had enjoyed watching the Hummingbirds at her feeder. She kinda influenced The Fuzz to try one himself.
He had already been feeding the other birds with sunflower seeds, but decided to add the hummingbirds to his guest list.
It took a few days, but before long, they started showing up regularly.
These guys are a trip, their metabolism is something else.
"Hummingbird has incredible high heart rate. Average heart rate during the flight is 1200 beats per minute. When resting, heart rate reaches 250 beats per minute"
They are usually the first to show up in the morning…
usually when it's just starting to get light.
Here's a shot of one coming in for some breakfast.
The Fuzz tried to tweak it a little to show the details-
These guys move so quickly it's hard to see them!
Here's one landing…
Wings slowed down enough to almost see them.
But they are a lot of fun to watch and can get kinda feisty with each other-
Which surprised The Fuzz a little.
And here we have a last look at this guy enjoying a nice little morning drink.
