Anna's Summer

 Finally the hot weather returned.  This weekend will be very hot around 90 F degrees.  With this temperature,   Anna's Hummingbirds come by here often 😍😍.

"I love the hotlips.  They are made just right for my beak 💓💓."

"There are a lot of flowers.  Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, which one is it the sweetest?👀👀"

"Here are the purple ones.  Are these sweeter than the red ones?😁😎👍"

The Wetland Friends

 At the wetland nearby, I sometimes see a squirrel.

"Hi, I see many people with a black box (camera) around here👀👀."

 Here is a Rufous Hummingbird at the top of a bare branch.

"I like this top to see all the way to the other end of the reservoir💓💓."

Black-headed Grosbeaks are here every summer.  I can hear them singing, but most of the times, it is difficult to spot them.  This time luckily I saw him sticking out his head😉.

"I want my girl to find me😊😍."

Breakfast

 In spring, Tree Swallows arrived at the wetland earlier than other summer birds.  There are many nest boxes around for their use.  Now is the time to see how the birds are using the boxes.

"There, mommy is coming😍😍😍!"

"We are hungry😅😄😁."

"I got it first😋!"

Nest Building Material?

 It is raining again.  But my roses are now beginning to bloom

Yellow Roses

At the wetland, we saw two Ospreys early in the morning👀😍.

"I am trying to catch a fish down there💪💦."

Here is a photo of another osprey carrying a bamboo stick😄.  What for?

"I have to hurry back home for the nest building😅👍."
