Hummingbird Feeders — Not Just For Hummingbirds!

Waiting For The Hummer (Or Someone Like Him)

Sitting on my porch … waiting for a Hummer to visit the feeder … borrowed camera in hand …

Beyond the feeder, the Mountain Bluet is still flowering.

 

 

 

At the feeder … nothing.

 

 

 

Beyond the feeder, the neighbor’s yard is aglow in the sunshine.

 

 

At the feeder … a bit of glowing as well. (But no hummer.)


 

 

 

Beyond the feeder, the Hanging Basket blooms with reckless abandon.

 

 

 

While at the feeder …

 

 

 

 

 

The Visitor hums in!

(Yay!)
