Hi Forum,
I refreshed the hummingbird feeders this morning. I have three: one on a corner of the garage, one by the living room window and one on a shed next to the gazebo in the backyard. Within a minute of the filling the living room one, a female ruby throat showed up. She must have been watching me from the trees next to the front lawn because she was on the feeder by the time I got into the house. After she left, I decided to go back out to rearrange the feeder so the ports were facing the window better. I'm still trying to get some pictures of her. Next thing I hear is the little female come flying up behind my head.... she wants the feeder and I'm in her way! She was chirping away at me and I was watching her reflection in the window. She flew away a little and decided in her frustration to attack one of the red Christmas lights on the house! With a few more chirps aimed my way, she took off for parts unknown. I thought she was going to land on my head!
She's been back to the feeder again already so I guess all is forgiven. Boy, they sure know how to get their point across, don't they?! ;)
