Blowing In The Wind

Zippy is hanging on for dear life as the wind is trying to blow him right off of that feeder. His feathers are flying! As he fights to stay on, he's also keeping a watchful eye on the bee with whom he's sharing the nectar.

Zippy is not fond of the bees, I noticed today. One actually chased him away when he was perched on the rungs for a few moments while resting.

I'm not sure where all of the bees came from. When my flowers were blooming last Spring and Summer there was nary one to be found. Now they will head towards hummingbird feeders because there are virtually no flowers around from which to get pollen.

I just wish they would go away. They have become a nuisance.
