Humming Birds
Sunday, November 11th, 2007We were in the Mojave Desert at the Red Rock Canyon which boasts of massive rock outcroppings that is colored – Red. Thus, the name. The park has about 13 kilometers of paved road designed in such a way to enable the visitor to have a 360 degree vista of the whole canyon.
On our way back the following day, we were at Mt. Charleston, a year-round getaway for Las Vegas’ residents and visitors, with a number of hiking trails and a modest ski area. We were eating in this restaurant and seated at an outdoor table when I heard buzzing. I looked above. I thought at first I saw butterflies but I was wrong. They were hummingbirds hovering above their watering perches (feeders) like miniature hover crafts with their rapid wing beats and unique vertical movements.

Maybe we ate lunch with you on the patio at Mt. Charleston. Other than that, the most hummingbirds I have seen was at the Tucson Arizona Botantical Garden where you go inside a screening to set down and watch them. They even had some babies to see a few years ago.
