Thank you, Howard. I appreciate the visit and kind comments about my work. I remember those from last summer. So interesting to step outside into a frenzy of feedings at the birdfeeders. Sara K

What a lovely experience to have humming birds whirring round one's head. I wish to see at least one alighting in my garden. Humming birds are hardly seen here. Lovely Tanka.

I will have to look up information about hummers in your area, Valsa. Thanks for the visit. I was putting up a new bottle of feed for them and they were trying to get some free food. Sara K

Thank you, Janice. I have enjoyed the antics of the hummingbirds this summer because I put up a feeder. I usually have a good many flowers they can feed from but I don't have as many this year, so they are eating from the feeder plus they are fighting. LOL..Sara K

Why, thank you, Jan. I have enjoyed my view from the kitchen window. The birds have been awesome this year. Butterflies are around but not as much as in the past. I don't have the garden plants that they enjoy as much this year. Sara K
