I guess I'll leave my hummingbird feeder up a few days longer. [View all]

I hadn't seen any of the bitty birds since last Wednesday and planned to take it down today. This morning, however, just about daybreak, I had a tiny visitor and he has been back a few times since then. It appears to be a juvenile male, but I've not been able to get a close look yet. These little jewels are absolutely amazing.
