All sorts of birds

Well, I've just been having all sorts of luck with birds today. First, the crazy finches that were trying to peck into the siding on the apartment.

Later after that incident, I was outside repotting a plant on the balcony, when I heard a low drone like a bumble bee or wasp or something except it sounded MUCH bigger. We had some carpenter bees move into the area (in fact, into a wind chime on the balcony) a couple weeks ago so it startled me. I looked up to catch a glimpse of a humming bird zip off.

Later, he came back and I got a good look at him. Looked like he was a ruby throated humming bird. He seemed quite interested in the petunias. I'm becoming more and more glad that my wife convinced me to get those.
