While out planting some flowers tonight in the yard, I heard what I thought was a large bumble bee near my ear. So I swated around like a crazy person. But then I noticed a Hummingbird droning along at the feeder I put up a few weeks ago. I hadn't seen any birds at it but one day when I got home, I noticed the feeder was half empty. I thought it was defective and that it had drained out somehow. Now I am thinking this bird found the feeder and was purging it. I had just refilled it when I heard the bird tonight. After it had taken a good drink.....Whoooooosh.......it was gone like a rocket. Man, those things are fast.


I wish I had thought to grab my camera. DOH!

Maybe next time.
