Sitting Pretty

Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds are presently a big part of my everyday routine, so I have a multitude of photos to share.  I've been sitting on the front porch observing them during my short breaks from household chores and packing.  We'll be moving in just two weeks!  I'll be glad when the move is over and we are once again "settled".  Hopefully, this will be our final move.

These tiny guys and gals will be moving on soon too...across the Gulf of Mexico to their wintering grounds in Central and South America.  This is one of their favorite feeders.  Unfortunately, bees and yellow jackets like it, too.  Sometimes the yellow jackets work their way to the inside of the feeder, where they drown.  I've used feeders with bee guards, but they somehow manage to get in anyway- they're persistent and determined, as are the hummingbirds.




Thank you for dropping in...
Wishing everyone a great start to a new week!
