Sad. Just Nature doing its thing

Finally saw a HB at my window feeder a couple days ago. So, it's not a total secret, but last summer there was a fair amount of HB activity. Still, it's a good sign.

The Tree Tobacco out back was pretty popular earlier this evening. This was all within about a ten minute span.

Just spotted our first one! It was feeding on a plant called Humming birds lunch. The plant is in the cuphea genus and they LOVE this thing!! Anyway, sorry for crappy pic...they are so hard to capture.

Here is some more hummingbirds in the wild. Guess these little guys like the natural stuff and not the processed food at the feeder.

I've seen a few in the wild on my every other day hikes lately, but only seen maybe 2 in the last 8 weeks or so in my yard. One was feeding at my window feeder. It's nectar's down but I don't know if it's HBs or a leak. Hoping for a revival of HB activity in the yard, it wasn't stellar last year but it was certainly active for maybe 6 months.
