A Picture is Worth 17,000 Words
Barb has this tree out in front of her living room that is always full of small birds such as finch, cactus wren, and doves. Unfortunately the local well fed hawk also knows that this is where he can feast on his next meal. Hence the name- Hawk Bait Birds. But Barb keeps on putting the birdseed out – question is for whom is she putting it out for - the small birds or for the hawk?
Barb also has lots of hummingbird feeders here. Hummingbirds are sort of aggressive little birds. They look so dainty and fragile but if you ever catch them fighting it will change your mind.
It is so quiet here sitting on Barb’s back covered porch. Amazing! Just the sound of the wind chimes, her little rock water fall and the birds. The view of the mountains at sunset reminds me of a watermelon with its pretty pink color.
