Still Humming

Back in the summer there was a time when we had Ruby-throated Hummingbirds numbering in the double digits visiting our feeders and gardens.

In the past week or so we had two.

Now we seem to have but one.

This one:

This time of year most of these birds have left for their wintering ground in Central America.

We had slowed our refilling the hummingbird feeders of late, but yesterday I refilled two. But the bird, or birds as it could be several passing through on their way south; different birds on different days, prefers to feed at the flowers.

That's fine with me. Makes for nicer photo ops. :-)
