Thank you! He was upset with me because I was to close to the feeder trying to take pictures of the rocks He gets very vocal with me.

Those little guys are so funny. We have a male Anna's who is a year round resident. His name is Bossy (because he is) and he'll yak at us on occasion. Most of our hummers are so used to us that they just pretty much ignore us. We do have a female Black Chin who will hover right in front of our faces until we say hello to her. Then she'll go sit on the feeder.

Then she'll go sit on the feeder. I have 2 male Rubies that fight like crazy. A couple females (one who poked me in the back of the head when I was in front of the feeder watering the plants) I did have one Anna, but have not seen him in awhile There was a Black Chin earlier this year, but he hasn't been back either. I make my own sugar mix for them and they will let me know if it isn't to their liking-They crack me up. So bossy for such a tiny bird

Rolling some nice material. I'm always a fan of Montana's, but I really like that pink banded one too. Now, get out of the way and let that little bird eat!

I really was hoping to get luck and have some Iris in it. I will try again. The pink banded is another little queen. Have a few more tumbling and a couple more pounds waiting

Looks like you have been busy. I think my favorite is the Montana below the pink banded rock.

Which one? One of those looks like a Montana but is actually a Madagascar Dendrite agate. ; )

All are looking great! Pic #8 is my favorite, followed by #7 For some reason I'm a sucker for banded agates!

They sent me 2 whole rocks. I cut 2 thick slabs off one of them, liked what I saw, and then grinded the edges and threw them in the tumbler. I have half of one and a whole one to still cut up.
