... stippling.... short bill... and a curiousity for all things red... or tube-shaped... moving or still... dogs, wheel barrows, tennis shoes, brick walls. He hasn't figured out the feeder yet... kept trying to use it from underneath

I love it when the first youngsters show up... great fun is sure to follow

Now, I just have to figure out how to bribe him to use the spigelia before Pam gets her picture...

Bud, great shot as always! I had a visitor yesterday that I first thought was my occasional female until he/she exhibited wierd behavior - hovering under the empty shelves of mini greenhouse and plants with no blooms, etc. I am hoping activity will pick up because it has been really slow here so far.

I think there was a hummer at one of my monarda a while ago but I scared it off when I came around the corner of the house.
