Daddy woke me and he told me to get dressed because we were going to try and get a rare hummingbird. We drove all the way to a persons house and we went in their back yard. we saw signs showing us where to go. When we got there we heard a Red-tailed Hawk and then we heard hummingbirds making noises in a bush. Then the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds came out and went to a feeder then a Rufous Hummingbird came out and attacked the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds. It was hiding in a bush and just flew to the feeder and back and went to its favorite place in a tree. it was hard to get a picture! There were loads of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds there!! It was a lifer for daddy and me! Next week we are going to Cape Cod for a week and hoping to get some more birds! I am almost at 250!!!!
