Hummingbirds!

I love hummingbirds. I am so used to them being around since I was little, we have them non-stop on Vashon. In order to lure some hummingbirds in, we bought a hummingbird feeder to stick on to the glass wall on the deck. We saw a hummingbirds every once in a while, but it didn't seem to be working! My mom said that they like feeders where they can rest for a bit, and gave us this saucer shaped one. We quickly hung it on a hanger in the yard with new food in it where we could easily see it from the living room.

I think I've seen a couple hummingbirds a day, so we are getting more traffic. It seems like this morning one hummingbird has adopted this feeder as his! Every time I look over he is back for more. He even had a little battle with another hummer that tried to get some food. He seems to like a little bush right by the feeder too that he will rest on and find nectar in the little flowers. I got a couple pictures of him. He flew away when I first walked up to the window, but I waited for him and sure enough he was back for more within a minute or two!

That's our guy always coming back for more! It seems like he is always there this morning. I hope he makes our feeder a habit!
