A Visitor

 While porch-sitting the other afternoon the most amazing thing happened!

Photo from the internet.

The sweetest little hummer came right up on the porch, I thought he was going to land on my knee.  He was so close, he hovered looking at me, we were eye to eye.  He hovered for a little while then moved on to one of the pot plants and then he was gone.

He didn't go far, he's been feeding here all week to the delight of me and Mr. D!


Did You Know?
Hummingbirds have a great memory - they remember every flower & feeder they've been to, and how long it will take a flower to refill. Their brains make up 4.2% of their body weight. Proportionally speaking, they have the largest brains of the wild bird group.

I hope he remembers me!

They're such fascinating little creatures.
