About Me
- Chris Size
- This Blog was suppose to be about me going in the Mohair business...well it has morphed into being about me as well and that is ok. I am open and honest about everything and I love life and all the creatures that go with it...ask my mother. The photo is of my Queen Goat Angie before being sheared last year. She is tough as nails and she heads my herd. She also loves to be loved on...so she ain't that tough. I have now started a second Blog about creating my own Rainforest at: http://chrissrainforest.blogspot.com. Now I can separate my Mohair and plants.

I don't know if they are hummers - they are small, but also really unusual color. I will check with my friend at Audubon and see what he says.
Excellent I would love to know. Te feet when you look close look like Humming birds feet but....anyway thanks. Chris
I'm no ornithologist, but they look too fluffy to be hummingbirds. Of course, most birds fluff up when they're sleeping, so I could be wrong. Let us know if you find out!
(I agree with Julie; the color is unusual for hummingbirds, but that could be the flash.)
Alan thanks for the comment...I thought that too but, the size and the feet....they were about the size of two cotton balls and breathing noticably slow and did not move even when I got too close and thought they should have...it will be intersting to find out. Chris
I believe these birds are indigo bunting babies. I wonder where mama was? Have you seen them again? I found it interesting that a group of buntings are called a "decoration", "mural" or "sacrifice".
Look here for some pictures - at the bottom right of the page you will see the blue birds (their chests are all blue)
