Humming birds on the window.







I love to watch the birds. The feeder is attached to the back window.
Some hummingbird stats in case you play Trivial Pursuit again.
California Hummingbirds: There are 13 species in Southern CA. I think the ones here are Anna's. They have a wing beat of about 53 per second. Their heart beats is 1260 times per minute. They zip around here at a blurring 25 mph. They have interesting predators: hawks, cats, roadrunners, frogs, spiders and the strangest praying mantises.
