Nice shots Burn...I have noticed that the Hummers will not eat from the Mandivilla! One of the few flowering plants that they don't care for.

GP...yes it is a great place to hang out here on the farm. Been here over 28 years and it sure has taken a long time to discover just how great it is!!

We still have several Hummers this morning but it looks like they are continuing to eat and run.
From all that I am reading they are indeed about a month early in migrating this year...I guess that is an indication of an early fall.?!

I read something interesting about oil-rig workers in the Gulf putting out feeders for the traveling Hummers. My heart swells just thinking about them finding refuge and food on the long journey across the ocean. From what I understand the workers do this during the Spring and Fall migration. Very heart warming....

It is too overcast today so I will share a comical shot from the other day.
