I Am a Humming Bird So small I am, a wonder of the skies, With wings of breathless speed, I gently land Upon bright blossoms where I find the prize That offers me my sustenance as planned. Oh, sweetest nectar, joys of life I find, Among the fields in bushes, plants, and trees, In opened buds is happiness confined To be extracted with my expertise. I, hummingbird, so small in the grand scheme, Do make my mark in nature’s simple ways, To use my energy, fulfill my dream And capture joy—with nectar live my days. Among Earth’s sweetest blooms I am complete Where nature offers gifts of nectar sweet. Sandra M. Haight ~4th Place~ Contest: Picture Yourself As A Bird Sponsor: Andrea Dietrich Judged: 05/23/2015 Hummingbird – Meaning: Joy, Nectar of Life

We do have them here, Jan. They are easily attracted with feeders put out with mixture of water and sugar. After a while, they don't mind people close by watching. The only bad thing is that they are constantly disturbed by bees that come for the treat! Have a great day! Hugs, Sandra
