For the Birds

I have a couple of Agaves in my garden that are flowering, very dramatic and, as a side benefit, they attract birds.

Hummingbirds like the nectar, and we have a nesting pair of Northern Orioles that are after the ants (the ants climb the stems to milk the aphids that have appeared around the flowers).

Here is the female Oriole...

As is often the case the female is a little drab compared to the male...

Who is a bit of a showoff...

Birds, especially small birds, are very hard to photograph as they move incredibly quickly...

And another one of the hummingbird...

I hope you enjoyed...
