We are proud to report that the hummingbird feeder is now visited by "regulars" :)
Fine feathered fowl...who are anything but foul to look at, can be seen at all hours of the day.
There are several things we've learned about them thus far:
1) They are territorial, well at least the males, and will happily chase each other away from the feeder.
2) They are plagued constantly by the evil-tempered Blue Jay who we witnessed chasing a small, fragile looking humming bird from tree branch to tree branch.
3) They've made our Weeping Cheery Tree into their "Home Tree", they nest in the protected center of the tree and can be seen fluttering around for brief seconds.
4) Just like people they have different personalities, while one is a major ham and poses for the camera another is extremely skittish and dodges out of sight whenever he sees us.

No matter how often we see these little guys, it's always an exciting experience :)
Enjoy!
