I was outside spraying the flowers with the hose & along came a hummingbird & darted several times through the water spray. It then stopped & started drinking in mid-air about a foot from me.

I will use that hummingbirds example for the rest of the day. Flit about, play in the water & zoom above the trees.

They come in all colors here in Georgia DB. Red,Green,Blue,Yellow,Brown and a few combinations. They come to the large kitchen window and try to sip nectar from the flowers there and to my side porch for the same reason. They are a beautiful part of GOD'S creation. We used to see a few tropical canaries from time to time, they come up from South and Central America on cargo ships which dock in Savannah,GA. and Mobile,Al.. I haven't seen any for a year or two, maybe they stopped them from roosting on the ships or there just aren't as many ships.
