MY BACKYARD IS HUMMING

Posted on January 4, 2016 by redcontroversy

This unusually cold weather on Vancouver Island has my backyard full of hummingbirds. My three feeders are occupied all day long and the trees are full of these beautiful fluffed up tiny pine cones. That’s what they resemble as they snug in on the tree branches. They seem to sing more and their song provides a lovely cheery note in my dreary winter garden. testingyourwings

Take a breath, take your time, spread your wings and rise…
