Hola ..
Irene and Billy Bob / The Pair of Hummingbirds that have visited me this Season ::
Over the years, I've only put out two feeders and, I generally get 2 hummingbirds that are clearly a pair .. one feeder is under the eave next to the large living room window and easily visible from my recliner .. in the morning, when things are silent, no TV, no noise, I would drink my coffee and watch them come and go .. they would rotate from the front to the backyard, where the other feeder is by the deck ..
I grow very attached to these two birds .. they are like two old friends that come and visit when it's warm and then, make their exit when it's time to leave .. I never really attempted to attract a flock, the way some seem to do with multiple feeders .. just the two are fine with me ..
When the sun hits those feathers just right, it's a glorious display of nature .. and, I could swear at times, they have their own personalities ..
It's funny how two very small creatures can enter your heart .. they don't know you, they just know there is something they can fuel up with hanging in that feeder ..
As you age, the small things seem to provide comfort in a turbulent World ..
