That is so sad. There are things I hate about nature. Hard to imagine a snake being fast enough to catch a hummer. I think I'll pass on the pictures.

I fret some over mine. There are so many of them, and there are two cats that are always hanging around lately watching the feeders. I've taken to feeding the cats in hopes that full bellies will make them less inclined to see the bird feeders as "cat feeders."

Some of the birds have been behaving strangely today. Pretty funny. I watched as the Bluebirds chased off the Cardinals so they could have their evening bath undisturbed. Then one of the hummers actually chased a Chickadee off his spot on the wire where he jealously guards "his" feeder." At one point, he came back and there was a Goldfinch hanging on the wire that supports the hummingbird feeder. Hummer looked a bit surprised, like "what's up with that?"

It's nice to actually have a day that I can watch them a bit. I've been working days, evenings and weekends for weeks now. I did work for a little while this morning, but enough is enough. I decided to just come home and relax. It isn't like the work is going anywhere.

Good for you! No one can do their best work without taking time to 'recharge'.

You said the birds were acting funny......maybe they were gossiping about how they were all actually getting to SEE the lady that fills their feeders!

LOL!
