They look like a little swarm of bumble bees and they have that very distinctive little chirp. Probably a family chasing each other around, as they are not a sociable lot. And wow Shirley, that's quite the report. I have a dead Starling on the lawn that I must remove. The next door cat must have got him. The Hummers are at my feeders, but not allot of anything else.

Apart from the usual wild life there, I saw, a pair of Willow Tits, a couple of Shoveler Ducks, female. For the first in this area, a Little Egret. I have seen these near Falmouth in the past, but never have I heard of one venturing this far north. There was also an interesting battle between two Water hens who seemed fighting for the affections of a female. I thought it would be a bit late in the season for that type of thing. Photos of the Shoveler, Egret and Moor hens to be submitted soon. Regards Roy J. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

We used to have thick billed parrots in AZ, but they've been extirpated from here. I had a pair of peach faced lovebirds in my trees 2 winters ago. A pair must have escaped captivity a few years ago and they have been fruitful and multiplied, sometimes to the detriment of the native birds. I love them though. They're very cool to see.
