I have been keeping my eyes peeled for a hummingbird but haven't seen one in the last 3-4 weeks. Usually they stay til the end of September but they left in early Sept this year. I wonder if that means anything about our fall or coming winter...I hope not. The last hummingbird I saw was at the kitchen window. It was a female and she was VERY plump so I thought it was evident they were getting ready for the big migration. Little did I know it would be so soon. These little birds signal spring and the true end of summer for me. Have a good winter in Costa Rica little guys!

I was sitting on the front porch about a week ago and a hummingbird came and enjoyed the geranium plant right next to me. I could not believe that I was that close to it. I could have touched it. It was neat to hear it's wings humming! Ann
I love it when they come close too, some are pretty brave. A week ago, hmmm, I wonder why mine left early, too many bees in the feeders perhaps.
