MrsD's hummingbird
Forgive me for jumping subjects, but I had to comment on your hummingbird as I have four feeders in the yard facing the back porch and one would think the yard was O'Hara airport with all the traffic. The feeders are placed near lilac bushes for rest stops. I notice they don't like to share the bounty that's why so many feeders. Last year the wood hornets gave the lilac bushes and hummers a hard time, but they had been almost nonexistent this season. Wearing a red hat in the yard brings the hummers right in your face and the air displacement they create is rather loud for their size. Last evening while setting on the bench I counted about 14 with the red throats the most noticeable, they disappear very quickly once leaving the feeders and they will migrate out of here about the middle of October.
