I took Loretta out back this morning, like I do before work. I was about to throw her a stick until I looked up the hill. I saw a group of six elk, just up the hill, looking down at us. Loretta got wind of them and wanted to go up, but I managed to call her back down. We have so much wildlife around now.
Last week, I watched a ruby throated hummingbird. I know what it was because it lighted on a branch about seven feet away from me. It flew straight up in the air and then dive-bombed right back down. It made a big loop and then hovered, repeating again. I am guessing that it was diving for bugs. The clouds were just right to watch it silhouetted against the air.
