We usually feed and see hummingbirds in the late Spring, early Summer. In the last couple of days we have seen them flit by on our back porch, so we decided to put out a feeder. They visit quite frequently. Don't know if they are the same ones or different ones migrating. Either way, it is a pleasure. The Mr. got a good picture.

They flit around, sit on the hook, looking at the window, and sometimes coming up to the window looking in, but not going to the feeder.

They were sitting on the hook again today, and we got the message. Refilled the feeder, and they were back on it right away. I guess they have us trained.
