April 11, 2024 - Seaside Gardens, Carpenteria

We spent some time in Santa Barbara last week for Spring Break so I visited my favorite garden in all of Santa Barbara County, Seaside Gardens.

There was a large section of Pride of Madeira bushes in the back of the garden where a group of male Rufous Hummers were attacking what seemed to be a group of female Allen's Hummers every time they tried to feed on the blooms.
