A Sunset, the Worm Moon and a Hatchling

Last night was the annual potluck for the street.  While we were sitting outside, we noticed the almost full moon in the eastern sky.  It was pretty amazing, even with the sun up.  Later we had a sunset that was pretty good.  I had to stand in the middle of the street to take the picture, we can no longer see the setting sun from the side yard.

As I was taking this picture, a coyote came up out of the wash beside our house and crossed the road.  Apparently we're having a bumper crop of baby rabbits this year, the coyotes are eating well and they look really good.


The almost full Worm Moon.


Ta-da!!!!!!!  Here is the first baby hummer.  The hatch was sometime this morning.  Does this look fetal or what?


So, we have one hatched and one to go.

    That mama hummer is so accepting of you. But you've never pushed the boundaries, either. What a wonderful day!

    Wow! What an amazing shot of the nestling! Can you tell I am just catching up on your blog after a busy time here (moving to a new rental house and getting it all set up, kind of a smaller scale version of what you have been doing lately!)
