TABLE FOR TWELVE IN PASTELS by Lynn Bauer - Twelve hummingbirds gather round a hummingbird feeder to feast on nectar. These pretty birds are constantly battling the elements, as well as each other. Hummingbird are very territorial, and many challenges take place at the feeder. A male Anna's (on the left, hovering, with the red head) is one of the most aggressive, and can be seen here coming in for the attack! I'm sure he took a peck at one of the others right after I snapped this picture.

These times have been beyond description, so I am thrilled to have many images to look back on! Also, for many years, the Texas Hill Country has been a...
