Hummingbird

I’m back in Arizona.

There is a humingbird that keeps flying onto my patio , under the patio cover, and close to the windows.

Have you ever tried to take a picture of a hummingbird?

It appears as if he/she/it is looking for something. A way inside? A place for a nest? insects? or plain curiosity. I really don’t know.

The other day, I was out on the patio and this hummingbird (OK, I don’t know if it was the same hummingbird or not) came flying towards me and stopped in midair about 5 feet away.

“Well, Hello, there little hummingbird!” I said.

No reply

“What do you want?” I asked.

Again, no reply. It just hung there for almost a minute. Then it darted around on the patio , . . .back and forth, left and right, out from under the roof, and back under; over to the windows, and then it left.

Hmmm! I wonder what that was all about. Then I noticed that the hummingbird feeder at the end of the patio beam was empty! So, I filled it with one of those packets of powdered humming bird food – of course, I added it to 16 ounces of water before I put it in the feeder. Then I hung it back up.

Today, a hummingbird came to my patio and under the roof, then over to the feeder.

So, now I can add to my list of abilities – Humming bird Whisperer.
