Deb - THANKS for those websites with the hummer songs and flight sounds! I tell ya, the Sphinx Moth flight sounds very similar! No kidding! I can see how folks mistake them for hummers by sound and movement. Unfortunately, my computer is NOT near any windows or doors. But ya never know, I might still be able to figure out a way to pipe the sound out to my backyard!

I do have those 2 small Fushcia bushes that I bought from Lowes. They are doing good in my yard so far and have gotten considerably bigger. They get about 3' tall by 3' wide at full size. Mine are both still blooming like crazy! Here's the photo I took after I first bought them. They are really pretty and look like hummers would swarm to them! (I can only hope!) The plant in front of the Fushcia is the Black and Blue Salvia which is supposed to be another hummer favorite.

I've got so many hummer nectar flowers in my yard. If the hummers ever do find my yard, they will probably set up house and stay year round. (Which many of them do here in Florida!) I should be so lucky!
