Arizona Dreamin’

Hungry or hot?

I don't think hummingbirds stick out their tongues like a dog when they get hot.  I suspect he might be catching a gnat.  Hummingbirds need protein so they will eat tiny flying bugs.  This one is a male broad-billed hummingbird I captured this morning in the park.  I went early to beat the heat. On the way home, I stopped at a place to eat and had a veggie bagel (bagel "sandwich" with cream cheese, tomato, onion, and bean sprouts with honey mustard dressing.)  I hadn't been there in several months so it was a nice change of pace. 

 I went for the haircut I couldn't get yesterday and finished up the wash.  Now every bit of clothing I own is clean!  That doesn't happen very often.  The only thing I have left to do is to wash a couple of  feeders and put out fresh water, oranges and nectar for the birdies.  They really need the water.  It evaporates from the dishes quickly because the humidity is a desert dry 5%.  Not complaining but it must have been 130+F in the car each time I got back into it.  Time to get the window sunscreens, steering wheel cover, white hand towels for the side windows, and the gear shift sock into the car!

Me:  I don't think I know 6 people without any problems!
