On the weekend I shared a pic of the Goldfinches that have been visiting the garden on the daily.

They absolutely fascinate me. They aren’t big birds… but they still look like they should be too heavy to hang off the stems and heads of the sunflowers.

But they aren’t!

The other day, there were several of these Ruby Meadowhawks flying about the yard.

I even captured a pair of them mating!

I caught this lovely lady admiring herself in the reflection on our big front window.

And it’s proved to be a popular resting spot. I got this shot from inside a couple days later.

All this critter watching this summer has been exhausting! I think this guy has the right idea!
