Zippy, My Faithful Friend

The Zipster, 'still crazy after all these years.'  Or should I have said, "Still molting after all these days?"  Any way I say it, Zippy will always be as beautiful to me as this rendition of Paul Simon's song.

Here he sits, about 15 feet (4.5 m) high in the ocotillo, ready to pounce on any hummingbird who dares enter his territory.  What a little scoundrel he is!

A truly sincere thank you to all who took the time to share so many stars and hearts on yesterday's Bridled Titmouse. I feel humbled by your generosity.  xx
