And this was when he snuck up on me. I was standing still leaning against a post, focussed on the feeder, waiting for him (he tends to fly off if he sees me move, but if I'm still he'll come close) when I heard him at the hanging basket on the post right next to me. Then he went down to the ground to sip nectar from the salvia in the bed, then he went for these red verbena before I even had a chance to plant them!
