Good for you for having the time to notice and research these things. I do that kind of thing all the time, and it's very rewarding. And thanks for the info.

And they weight the eqivalent of two dimes when they leave and only one dime when they arrive at their destination or something like that...

I thought maybe you would include a link to an interesting story about some ancient civilization that worshipped hummingbirds.
I am so disappointed in you.
A moth.
Ha !

I had about 4 hummingbirds, watched them for 3 months but I think they went south, I have not seen any of the critters you mentioned, I have lots of pictures of the birds.

"I thought maybe you would include a link to an interesting story about some ancient civilization that worshipped hummingbirds. " Next week, I may tell you about the "Indian Mounds' I found on my property. Will that do?

Cool photo. Seems the feeders have to well designed to keep bees and wasps from dipping into the sugar water.

Cool. I have those here, too. But I'm only about 100 miles Northwest of you. I thought they were hummers, but moths in the daytime???
To: dennisw
Don't ever give honey to the hummingbirds, it's not good for them.

Actually, just ran this through the
Mileage Calculator, and I was off a little bit:
The distance from Tallassee, Alabama to Mobile, Alabama is approximately 178.5 miles.

"I thought they were hummers, but moths in the daytime???" The earliest I've seen them around here is about 5:30pm but, usually a little later just at sundown. (The article I read on them said 'dusk'.)
