Hummingbird Heaven--They Sit On Your Finger?
San Juan Mountain Range, s/w Colorado:
Each morning, our little friends drop by the tent and see what's cooking for breakfast. The sound of a little electric fan at turbo speed signals their arrival, as they suspend themselves in mid-air right in your face. They must like omlettes and/or trout?
Will they perch on your index finger?
Yes! If you have a feeder (which consists of sugar water in a little tray, you hang it from a branch or whatever), and they're used to you, put out your finger, hold still, and one will perch, just like a parakeet!
San Diego Wx Without All the Humanity:
The weather has been just about perfect, altho a little chilly during the morning. Days in the desert running 95, 75 in the mountains. With 10-15% humidity, this place is a lot like So-Cal in the summer. Winding down after a long ride yesterday afternoon, was like heaven. Had a few beers, caught a couple 'bows & a highly prized german brown trout, washed up, & spent a couple hours around a nice birch wood fire. It don't get any better 'an that. Headed down into the big city of Durango today, the ABM wallet is just about empty...now where is that ATM machine?
