Thanks Om, would love to see your photos.


I'm just hoping that they are not in the album my sister kept..
I need to check the one I have here.

Where abouts did you live in
Calif.?


Up in the mountains above Lancaster. We were on a migratory flightpath.
The hummer also nested in the 3 big live oak trees in the front yard.

The mating flights of the Anna's, Rubythroats and Rufus's were neat to
watch. Little showoffs. G

We also saw them eat gnats.


There is a little old man that lives down in Vista that has fify feeders &
he said that when the migrating hummers come back up they know his place &
there
are so many at one time you can here them, like bees.


Fifty feeders? My kind of guy!

We had a guy walking up the street near our place ask us what all those
bugs were once. He thought they were bumblebees? shrugs

If you ever get a chance to visit the San Diego zoo, they have a walk in
aviary and the hummers in it are very tame. So are the Orioles.


Cheers Wendy


Cheers!
Om
