Carol, thanks, I'd forgotten about the aphids. We do have lots of gnats which we see the hummers grabbing.

SW, glad you're feeling a little better. I haven't seen my Blk-chinned for a couple days. Hope he hasn't moved on already. Wow, send some of that warm weather this way. We may finally hit the 80's today, but I won't hold my breath.

SK, glad to also hear you are getting back to normal too. Looking forward to seeing the pictures.

Yesterday I hung slices of oranges from a pole near a hummer feeder and also on top of one. So far, no one is interested in them-last year they snubbed them too. I had one Oriole sit on a perch and look at the orange, but went back to eating the sugar water instead. Today is the last day I try this. You'd think they'd want a taste!
