Hummingbirds are a frequent sighting around here, so we decided to get a feeder to attract them when the plants in the garden aren't flowering. The lady at
Wild Bird Haven explained that a male hummingbird will probably find it and decide it's his and no one else can use it. Sure enough, someone turned up within hours and claimed it.

He has taken up residence in a nearby tree and watches it faithfully. We've seen him chasing off other hummingbirds. He's not bothered by the scrub jays that hang around hoping for peanuts (guess he knows they're not interested in sugar water), but he's not too crazy about us being around it. Approach it,there's a steady chip-chip-chip sound coming from the tree. Settle down, little guy, we're just trying to refill it.
