Staring at a night sky full of stars. No light pollution. This is one of the reasons I love my property.
Listening to tunes and enjoying a Rusty Nail. Yes, I have committed sacrilege. I have added Drambuie to a malt. But this malt deserved it.

I had a customer (a pa wine & spirits sales rep) last night that wanted the tire plan. He didn't want to pay for it though. He offered me a case of wine in exchange. I agreed to the deal. $135 for the tire plan. I figured, if they are $15 bottles, I'm ahead, and I'm set for Christmas gifts for my Co managers....
Well, the case has 8 bottles of $25 a bottle wine, a bottle of makers, a fancy rum, kahluah, tequila. Probably about $250 worth all in all. Nice guy.

It's the middle of November and the hummer is still with us...
We'll keep feeding as long as they stay. |

It's a big, fat phone/tablet.

... but as you say, as long as food is continuously available. I found some support for that idea here |

Quite a few visitors will stay if food is provided early in the season. If you start feeding, the key is: don't stop. Your visitors will have missed their chance to migrate and will be dependent on you.
I'm happy tonight because I successfully presented a huge change to proposed clinic space to the hospital admin this morning. If the changes go through, I'll have a real chance of developing the practice I dream of.

The mating chases are continuous, really vigorous, and window-threatening ! Any times during the day, there will be a loud thump of a hummer flying into the glass, ... but so far there doesn't seem to be any permanent injuries. It is truly amazing to watch their aerial gymnastics and occasional hovering beak duels. Right how we have 3 females and 1 male, ... if he is able to keep up with these chases, he will pass along some very good genes |

Hummers are very aggressive, are you sure they are "mating chases"?

Happy to be back in my apartment for the next three days with two very needy cats competing for my attention tonight. Tomorrow, onco labs, ultrasound, and appointment; then fingerprinting and training for my stint as a 'guest researcher' at NIOSH. A visit from my husband, who has offered to clean my apartment and do laundry so that I can work on my Master's project and study. For all of which I am truly thankful.

  Does anyone know if the red color of the solution makes a real difference to the hummers ? We bought another brand of dry "food" packets, but this brand has no color. The feeder, itself, is red and these four birds are habituated to it. We'll try it, but it's not as satisfying for us humans as seeing the original red goop. |
