Thanks for starting XOXO

I also seem to recall a Hummingbird Cam from CA, we'd collectively gasp & worry if a lizard appeared on the premises.

She gets up every now and then to feed them. That's when you get a pretty good look at them.

There are some still pictures and video on the Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Raptor-Resource-Project/103786266324668?sk=wall
