Belle likes to sit on the pull-out board and supervise the selection of the can 🤷🏼‍♂️ I told her that today she had to eat her Fancy Feast beef gravy dinner because in *this* house we eat beef. She said oh no you don't and gave me this look, because of course we don't eat beef.

I was going outside to put the umbrellas down but saw this little guy cooling his jets in the fountain. So I waited. And I waited. Hummingbirds buzzed all around him but he didn't move. I got a bit worried and went down to check and he told me he's just fine and to clear off!

We just got a new bird feeder and look who showed up!
A male Pin-Tailed Whydah.
Next to Griffith Park.

This is different, you can see his beak and tongue! You need to open the full picture.

I came across this composite of photos of our tortie Rini. It's from a few years ago but honestly, nothing's changed 🤣

Sheesh. I currently fill 12 8-port 32-ounce feeders almost daily now! I can't believe that I'll have to hang more feeders.

He's making sure that last feather is perfectly in place before checking out the girls at the feeders. We're now up to 12 8-port 32-oz feeders and I'm refilling them every other day.

I love this shot, after the rain moved on a few years ago. The hummingbirds were hungry!

I guess we're now in for more of this.

We put dry cat food out in the morning. Truthfully it's for the ground birds because they really like it. The Towhee hops in and roots around, kicking almost all of the food out of the bowl. Then the little Wren comes in for the smaller bits. The skunks and the possum come much later and do cleanup.

An oldie but goodie: Sharp-Shinned Hawk outside the kitchen window, no hummingbirds were harmed!

It's a deceptively clear sky and sunny. We were windy yesterday but calm so far today. I've been filling the 8 hummingbird feeders every other day so I'm glad they're finding places to hide.

Yesterday we were fogged in here, wet and cold. It didn't clear out until midday. Today? Perfectly gorgeous blue skies just in time for the Parade! The floats are glorious. The bands are wonderful. The last time it rained in 136 years was in 2006, only the 10th time

This is from 2 years ago. I was outside and I saw them having a quick drink so I raced indoors to get my phone. It's hilarious to see the big Anna's sidle over and hip-check the Allen's (maybe a Rufous) off the birdbath! I think he wanted a bath but there were too many there.
