Humming Birds take leave.

End of Summer Hummer Bummer

Saturday I was on the deck when I heard what sounded like one hell of a big bumble bee in my ear. I whipped around, and there not 5 inches away looking me in the eye was a humming bird. She hovered at eye level for several seconds before jibing over to some nearby flowers. Closest I've ever been to one. Yesterday, Sunday, I was cooking on the grill when another zipped by, stopping at the feeder a few feet away. All last week, in fact, you could not look out a window, front or back, upstairs or down, without seeing hummers. Today, not one. They're gone until next year. What a bummer. A hummer bummer. Here's some footage I took out the kitchen window. These are Rob's "hummingpigs"
