The Broad-tails: evicted. The Black-chinned: in hiding. And a 3-gram flaming overlord is currently guarding the feeder like it’s the last drop of nectar on Earth.
Yesterday, a world of busy Broad-tails and peaceful Black-chinneds... today, one tiny copper menace shatters the peace. They weigh less than a nickel, but they have maximum sass. This July, the sugar water runs red (or
, actually, dye-free clear).
Coming to a Colorado backyard near you:
THE RUFOUS-ING. Rated R for Ruf-housing.
