As summer approaches, I daydream of all the adventure it will bring. Fishing. Kayaking. Hiking. There are countless ways to enjoy the season, but my favorite is birdwatching, especially the beloved ruby-throated hummingbird.
Was there ever a bird so fun to watch? I sit on my deck and observe them as they hum past my ear, zipping toward the feeders. My heart fills as they dodge, dart and dash all around me displaying their unique antics. They love to show off as they fly in all directions — forward, up, down, sideways and, most impressively, backward.
