Imagine seeing this beautiful male Costa's Hummingbird outside your window one morning. Just enjoying one of these birds would be great, right?
Now, multiply this one bird by 50!!!
Our friends, Kurt and Candice, invited us down to the desert this week to witness an amazing spectacle going on at their home. When the hummingbirds started arriving in November, they added one feeder after another as more and more of these flying gems showed up. Now they have 4 main huge feeders which need to be refilled twice a day!
Watching these birds is mesmerizing! When they aren't at the feeders, they become royal purple Christmas ornaments in the nearby tree.
When you stand close to the feeder, you feel the slight wind and hear the constant humming from their rapid wing beat. You might even get lucky and have one perch on your finger.Wow!

I found this quote that I wanted to share. Unfortunately, the author was not listed.
"Like a hummingbird, we aspire to hover and to savor each moment as it passes, embrace all that life has to offer and to celebrate the joy of everyday. The hummingbird's delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere, every personal connection has meaning and that laughter is life's sweetest creation." Anonymous
