Quidditch At BBR

Every day I get to watch a quidditch match here at Blackberry Ridge.  The hummers dart about from one feeder to the other and seem to be playing a quidditch match as they vie for a place at the feeder.  If you've seen Harry Potter movies...and who hasn't...you'll understand what it looks and sounds like.  It's a great sport to watch  and it's free admission! 

Any attempt to photograph this territorial game results in just a big blur.  This is as close as I got to capturing it:

 

Here are a few solo shots of them coming in for a landing.  They're not that good, but they're better than the ones I took in previous weeks.  Hopefully, the  pattern will continue and the ones I take next week will be improved over these. 

 

One thing I know for certain: they're drinking up nectar so quickly that hardly a day goes by before I have to refill the feeders.  Here's the dinner party from yesterday evening:

 

Post Note
It seems the quidditch has made it to the muggle world.  You can read about it here or have a look see here:

This is how my tea was served at Chateau Morisette Winery when Judy took me there for my birthday last month.  We're going back there today with our weekend house guests and hoping for good weather so we can sit on the patio and look out at the mountains again.   Since the forecast is 70 percent chance of rain, I'm not counting on it.  Bad timing,  the rain...but I ain't complaining!
