Flickers in Ft. Collins: My friends Pat and Michael have two flicker houses under the eaves of their house, and the flickers have babies. The flickers have lived there longer than they have—they came with the house. Every time we sat out on the deck to eat, we watched the flickers feed their babies, fly in and out of their home, and watch us. Parallel universes.
Big hummingbirds in the Southern Rockies: We visited another friend in the Southern Rockies, who lived high in the Ponderosa pines on rocky red dirt land overlooking valleys and mountains. The largest hummingbirds I’ve ever seen darted in and out of the pines and sipped at the feeders she hung all through the trees around her house. They took their time and moved slower than other hummingbirds. The air was thin and clean and fresh; time was leisurely; and we lived in another dimension.
