Late in spring the Columbine, a perennial, begins to bloom. It comes in a variety of colors, and my backyard has them in yellow, light red, and dark red. Red is a hummingbird's favorite color.
The other morning I saw a female Rufous Hummingbird taking a bath on top of the rose leaves.
"The rose leaves are stiff enough for me to roll over."
"See, wishy, washy.... I'm getting clean."
"Now, I'm ready for the blueberry juice."
