Male cardinals will attack any reflection, such as a camera lens or a car window.

Happens to be yes, because male birds are territorial in this way. That's the birds and the bees.

Hummingbirds on my patio after a heavy rainstorm subsided. They'd been crouching under leaves and an overhang waiting to feed. First time I saw several landing at once on the feeder. Usually it's hummingbird dive bombers!

Also - this
bird video from Cornell Ornithology is absolutely stunning; Enjoy

Stunning is the perfect word to describe this video. Thanks for sharing it, Cowgirl.

Also love hearing about hummingbirds, too. The past few summers I've only spotted one solitary hummer in my yard on occasion. Maybe this year there will be more.

Like many places we've had warm weather recently.
This is a picture I took of an ice coated shrub in the front flower bed just a couple of weeks ago when freezing rain fell.
