I do know that he or she wanted to go and feed this lovely juicy worm\/caperpillar\/somethingorother to the baby wrens and my presence in the garden kept them from doing so. They won&#8217;t go in the birdhouse when there is someone close by because they don&#8217;t want to lead a predator to their family.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2488\" title=\"wren\" src=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/wren.jpg\" alt=\"wren\" width=\"500\" height=\"296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/wren.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/wren-300x177.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/> &#8220;Get lost wouldja?&#8221;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2485\" title=\"wren2\" src=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/wren2.jpg\" alt=\"wren2\" width=\"500\" height=\"285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/wren2.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/wren2-300x171.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/> Some kind of tiny bee on a Queen Anne&#8217;s Lace flower head.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2486\" title=\"tiny_bee\" src=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/tiny_bee.jpg\" alt=\"tiny_bee\" width=\"500\" height=\"294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/tiny_bee.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/tiny_bee-300x176.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>A dragonfly on my arch nemesis, the bamboo.

I think it is some kind of skipper.

If hummingbirds were the size of eagles, that eye would freeze you in your tracks.

Bird books always warn you not to confuse these with hummingbirds, but really they don&#8217;t look that much alike.
