Neighborhood Birds

 I have been feeding the hummingbirds but haven't got any pictures of them.  They are just too fast.  I did get the Gila Woodpecker sitting in the Ocotillo bush.  It amazes me that birds can perch in the prickly bush.  There are even bird nests in there.  The yellow rumped warbler was hanging around too.  Both of these birds were trying to get to the sweet  juice in the hummingbird feeder.  The Gila woodpecker hangs upside down on the bird feeder and tries to stick his long bill into the feeder.  It doesn't work but some of the juice does come out with all of the teeter tottering the bird feeder does from the bird hanging on for dear life.  The warbler was doing the same thing.  

Some other little warblers and finches showed up and were also trying to get something from the feeder.  I put out a pan of sweet water hoping to get the birds to go there instead of trying for the hummingbird feeder.  Some of the birds have used it but then they still try to get at the feeder so I give up.  Of course the hummingbirds are quite put out by these big birds trying to get at their food.  They actually will try to scare off the big birds.  It's pretty funny to see the tiny hummingbirds chasing the bigger birds around the Ocotillo bush.
