Dixie Washington: Rufus Hummingbird

These are aggressive little guys. It's entertaining to watch a single, tiny, rufus male guard 6 feeders and keep them all to himself.

Dixie Washington: Hummingbirds

Who ever heard of Dixie Washington? Who knew that hummingbirds migrate through Dixie Washington in the thousands? Cold, wet, rainy, bad light - and a wonderful day in the backyard of a wonderful man who puts out dozens of hummingbird feeders and lets people traipse all over his property. You could hear them all over - giant bumblebees everywhere. Seeing them was another matter.

Hood Park

Rode bikes out to hood park, camped, took a few morning shots, and rode home again.
