But unfortunately I'm not posting about her, but about the remaining hummingbirds dining at our deck. The rufous have gone and the remaining birds are getting chubby off the feeder, perhaps stocking up for a long flight. The Cornell University website on birds recommends to keep the feeders out for those stragglers headed south. The birds are apparently following signals related to the amount of light in a day and keeping the feeder full will not delay them but rather help them, according to Cornell.
Here's one of our friends from yesterday..

When I was a child I was a humming eater, too. My great-grandmother (grumpy old lady that she was)hated it and would say to my mother, "Can't you keep that child from singing while she's eating?" It's a family story that had slipped to the background until you brought up Kendall.
Thanks
p.s. Love the photo.
