Word Got Out...

Last night, we had one hummingbird...this morning, when we woke up, we had at least 4!

They were flying all over the yard, buzzing around, checking everything out!

Surprisingly, they spent a lot of time just sitting on sticks surveying the area.

They even spent some time relaxing in the Royal Poinciana tree.

As they flew around, they were chattering and squawking and chasing each other around.

I sure hope that means they're looking for a place to nest! We would be happy to have their tiny nests and babies in our yard :)

Hummingbird sighting!

I've spent most of my life in South Florida and have NEVER seen a hummingbird here. I just recently found out (last year, in fact) that hummingbirds do, indeed come to the Sunshine state. :)

Even more exciting, they actually DO come as far south as Palm Beach county (and beyond).

We planted a section of the yard to attract butterflies, bees and (we were hoping) hummingbirds.

Looks like all of my research paid off.

Two nights ago, we had our first hummingbird visit the yard!

Today, I captured this:

Attention All Bats

We have a new bat condo, coming soon to Lake Worth.

We invite all bats to come and check it out:

Lots of room, bring your whole family! Plenty of space available, so mark your spot today!

Located in a friendly yard, full of various pollinators and mosquitoes. Free rent and food...lots and lots of food. :)

Warning: You may be subjected to having your picture taken by a crazy lady with a camera and her equally crazy husband.

Hummingbird Moths

Our hummingbird moths are back again! They love the male papaya tree we have out back. We get about 5 or 6 each night. When they zoom by your head, you can really hear their hum!

 The pictures aren't all that great, because they come by JUST as it's getting too dark to shoot. Looks like I need to learn my camera a little better! :)

I do love this shot, though. You really can see the features of the moth. I'm not sure why the one on the top, right looks almost transparent, but I kinda like it. :)
