A bird upon the wing. . .

What glory is the music of
a bird upon the wing!
Within its paradise of life,
its songs so sweetly ring.
(Henry Gurley)

In the garden today there was a lot of hummer activity. As I was working on doing some badly needed deadheading, the BUZZ of those little wings came within feet of me. I finally gave up on the work and went inside for the camera.

They took turns at the feeders as well as checking out all the flowers.

One of them chose the oriole feeder as then he could perch while he fed. Those that "hovered" took well deserved rests in the trees around the garden

It was really relaxing to watch these birds upon the wing. . .
