Hummingbird!

Can't believe I got this picture.

Sure, it's not a great picture--bad lighting.

But I'm just a few feet away from that feeder.

Look on the left side of it.

like oranges.

When it comes time for us to shop, I'm going to get a couple oranges and test that theory.

I accommodated my neighborhood hummingbirds and orioles 3 days ago.

It took the orioles a few hours to figure out that I had the grape jelly bowl ready to go for them.

I didn't see any hummingbirds until yesterday, but that doesn't mean that they weren't around.
