The Ruby Throated hummingbirds (Archilochus colubris) have gone for the year, I think. I'll miss them. They look more like really big bees than birds! I've tried the trick they have of "flying in place", but I can keep it up for only a few seconds. I enjoyed watching them through the window at the coral bells. They also liked the bee balm, the licorice mint, the cardinal flower and the cuphea. The humans never realized that the nest was in the Bradford pear tree next to the street. One evening, the Mr. almost slammed into the older female (who was porch sitting) on his way to the cuphea. She was surprised, but he was really appalled! Hope they have a good vacation in Central America over the next few months.
