Toot

This is one of our hummingbird feeders, suspended off our kitchen window. There's another feeder visible in the background, in the yard down below. For whatever reason, this one's the more popular of the two.

It's on the other side of the kitchen counter, so when doing food prep by the compost bucket the feeder is less than 2' (60 cm) away.

What never ceases to amaze us is looking up to see someone sitting there - knowing that s/he flew up, saw you standing there, and landed anyway. We do our best to welcome them and let them know they're safe with us, but still.

An amazing gift, every day. Hummingbirds mostly, but House Finches, Bushtits, Chestnut-backed Chickadees, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Yellow Warbler...
