Hummer Is Here

Just now the first hummingbird of the season has come to the window and peeked in.  They are such curious little things; they hover at the window darting back and forth fighting the reflections to see what might be happening inside.  Naturally, we dashed for the hummingbird feeder, scrubbed it yet again, and filled it with the sugary nectar they love so much.  The flowers are a bit sparse yet this season, so the tiny birds will be more dependent on the feeder for a while.  I'm always happy to see them when they return, and this one was especially welcome at the end of a long day.
