I’ve spotted the hummingbird a number of times in the garden over the last few weeks… I have basically given up trying to get a photo, lol…

last Sunday I was in the living room on the phone with my daughter and looked out the window to see the hummy shoot by…

that made me go out to the garage to find the hummingbird feeder, bring it into the house, make syrup and fill the feeder… took it out and hung it in the garden near the purple flowers it seemed to like…

I sat out for awhile to watch for it, but nothing…

the next day, my buddies were here and when one tasted her coffee she spit it out… apparently I had put salt in the sugar bowl… which had also been what I used to make the syrup for the feeder… no wonder nobody showed up to drink from it…

brought the feeder back in, made real syrup, and put it outside…

maybe the hummingbird will come back, but it looks like it may have headed south;-(…
