Hummingbirds

"Pooh wondered if the hummingbird knew that he was a Humming Bear. "

I put a hummingbird feeder up a few weeks ago and have been wondering if anyone other than the finches were drinking out of it. This morning I spotted one flitting through for a quick drink of sugar water while I sipped on my coffee.

Don't tell her I said this, but she seemed drab for a hummingbird. It was a small hummingbird, so maybe it wasn't mature enough to have all the colour, or maybe I just couldn't see the markings with the morning sun behind her. Or maybe she's a species where the girls have less colour, hence the "she".

I'll keep a lookout and, if I can get them visiting regularly, I'll try to get some pictures posted.
