Hi everyone!
This past Friday morning I sat in front of the window that is in front of my computer...this is the same window I've also had one of my hummingbird feeders attached to for the last couple years...all of a sudden I heard that very distinct sound of chitter chatter the little hummers are known for...that little chimkmunk sound.... and lo and behold...there outside my window was one of the little guys darting up and down to get my attention...every so often stopping in mid flight to hover in place and peek in my window at me.
I felt so bad since I had yet to get my feeders filled and hung... so needless to say, I went straight to the kitchen to boil some water and get some necter made up and filled all my feeder as soon as it had cooled.
Needless to say...my little friend was much appreciative!

Congrats rainy_jane!!!

Lucky you rainy_jane, I'm still waiting!!!

Congratulations Jane!

Way to go, Janie! This is such a magical time of year.

Thanks everyone for the kudos... but I must say I just checked out dellrose's forum and was wondering if maybe I should remove my poor excuse, ill attempt at photography on my previous post...
good gosh dellrose are you a professional photographer or what...your photos make my little hummer look like a knat on a dogs___....well you know what I mean, I'm sure.

It's like one of those Kodak moments...don't ya agree?

whoops sorry..that was the hawk that flew into my door...was it not?

I'm always amazed that those little guys remember where the feeders were!

Congrats Jane on your returning little Jewels. I've got to smile about your remark ...."a gnat on a dog..." lol wait until I post my very first pic. of my hummingbird ever then we can compare notes. lol
Rose has initiated a brand new thread. I'll be right back with the link.

Please everyone come and join us with 2010 hummingbirds gathering. :-)
