@puginabug - last year the hubby had 4 hummer feeders out. Mercy! They kept him hopping. And they were so mean to each other. This year he has put out only 2 but put some distance between them thinking that would keep them from dive-bombing each other. NOT! We always thought they were so cute & sweet (in magazines). Those boogers ARE cute but greedy, not sweet! They will chase off the butterflies from our butterfly bush.

Yes, before I actually had them I used to think that hummingbirds were tiny, fairy-like gentle creatures. That image couldn't be farther from the truth!
They are extremely territorial and chase each other constantly!
Golden Eagle perched on a fence post. A couple of posts down there was a raven.

Lazy birds!
I often see bald eagles over a section of WA-522 at Lake WA's Northshore on the Lake Forest Park side. There are a pair of them nesting somewhere near there, because I also see them when kayaking the lake. I always wonder why they scout over the highway, and whether they would actually brave the traffic to pick off something if it looked juicy enough.
I remember seeing bald eagles in the Aleutians. I remember one was atop a utility pole, wings half spread out on a gloomy drizzly day (in other words, a normal day in the islands) drying.
DH, Bigun and I were walking on the East Lake Sammamish recreational trail this morning and were startled by three does, two quite young. It gave us a thrill!

Cool. I've always liked seeing deer alongside the highways. Not on the highways tho.
