The Cat and Mouse Game

Our house has two hummingbird feeders set up. One in the back near the kitchen window, the other in the front under the front porch. With hummingbirds buzzing about, it's almost like a Nascar race is happening with pit stops being at each feeder. As I cooked dinner last night, I watched a hummingbird right outside my kitchen window. I tried over and over to take a picture of this hummingbird and wasn't having much luck. I would watch him - watching me - then as I would move in, he would fly off. He would fly to the pine branch just barely out of camera reach.

It was the cat and mouse game that was being played. A few more times of him sitting there all pretty and me moving in slowly - then him zipping off to the pine branch. It was at this time that I hear in my head the theme song of the Wicked Witch, and myself saying "I'll get you my pretty".

I give praise and kudos to all the nature photographers of the world for capturing the beautiful pictures of the animals. For their patience and more patience because I was losing mine inside my kitchen until finally - I got you. Look just left of the feeder and you'll see him.

Cue Wicked Witch music now............................
