branch below my front window are so large that mama hummingbird can no

to lean over and poke her beak into their up-pointed, now much wider spread
open beaks (their gums a deep cantaloupe orange), and, further more, yet
unnamable predator birds are diving around the branches and hovering and
mama must rise and put on a wing flapping show to scare them off.
Meanwhile, for the last several days, we been getting one hailstorm after
another. Must be something to be a baby and have your head beat over the
head with cold hailstones!
