I am feeding the hummingbirds, they can’t stop guzzling down the sweet water in the bright red strawberry feeder. I started out with three birds and now I see maybe 12. I think there are two different kinds and maybe some baby birds. I’m filling the feeder every two days now. I don’t know where they have been but the birds seem to remember this feeding place and buzzed around my face till I filled their strawberry. I love the humming sound of their wings and the iridescent colors of their feathers and how the colors change as they hover. Once in a while a hummingbird will turn and stare at my bedroom window as if checking in on me. They don’t have hummingbirds in Hawaii.

I grew up in San Francisco in the 60's. I lived in a world of sex, drugs and rock and roll. After a long stretch working on my tan I have joyfully found my way back to radio. Because you can't fight it; when it's in your blood. I play music on KPTZ.org. View all posts by Buzzy Donahue
