THE HUMMINGBIRD

We've waited all spring and into the summer for him to come.  We knew he was here.  We've had to add food to the hummingbird feeder several times.  Yesterday Tom shouted, "Judy, come quick!"  There he was, just outside the front window, hanging in the air.  He darted to the feeder, flicked back and forth between the flowers on the porch, and was gone. 

Today I saw him there again in the window, just before I walked out the door.

He flew away and I began to breathe again. Exquisite...........................

  2. Hummingbirds are such marvels! One of my students brought in a dead one that she found in her garage. We got to hold it and examine it and look at it glisten in the sunlight. We have two feeders ourselves and our favorite time of day (in the summer) is to have coffee on the back porch early in the morning and watch birds. Hummers are a favorite.
