What Goes on in the Back Yard
Too beautiful not to share....watch it in HD full screen
Be sure to watch this on the largest computer screen you have and have your sound turned on.
The hummingbird doing rolls chasing a bee is not to be missed.
Check out the baby bat under its mother.
If you never knew what goes on in the garden when you aren't paying attention, watch this

- some of the finest photography you will ever see.

I have to agree with you. Since retiring, in the past year we've watched some amazing sights in our backyard.

1. Hummingbirds doing there thing.
2. Turtles moving between water sources and laying eggs. Then squirrels digging the eggs up and eating them.
3. Red-bellied Woodpeckers and starlings battling over nesting rights after the woodpecker hollowed-out a nest in a dead weeping willow. The starling got first rights, followed by the woodpecker later, but then just as they settled back in, the whole thing came down as a heavy storm snapped the top 10' of the tree off, right through the weak point, the woodpeckers hollowed-out nest.
4. A Coopers Hawk strafing the bird feeder, isolating a tit mouse between himself and the back porch, nailing the phoebe in mid-air and enjoying his treat on a nearby limb.
5. A cedar waxwing bouncing off the window hard enough to kill him.
6. The game of wits between myself and the squirrels and crows trying to monopolize the bird feeders.
