Must be spring

As I was walking to the barn to give the horses their "snickers" (vitamins and oats), I saw Roadie with a log in her beak looking up at her roosting place! Will we have a nest in the barn when we come back from vacation? How cool would that be?

Also saw the first rufous hummingbird today. The smallest hummer with the longest migration distance: he might be on his way to Alaska to breed, all the way from his vacation grounds in South America.

We are off to Baja today for a week's worth of whale watching.
