My schedule this morning dictated our route - I needed to be home before the walk was finished so I brought everyone over to my house. The good part of that
is I still have all four "regularly" occurring hummingbirds in my yard. When we arrived we saw a sharp-shinned hawk chasing a crow down the street. They ended up in my backyard which is cool, but having a sharpie around doesn't encourage other birds to hang around. Still, we had a great time and all four of the hummer species showed up.
