Another 'Summer' Bird sighting!!!

So often I want to stay home and lay in my  hammock and just watch the goings on in my backyard.  But each and every morning I get up and there is always something to do or someplace to go (usually work). 

Before I go to bed each night I go from window to window looking for night flyer's in my backyard, and I haven't spotted anything lately.  And every morning I go from window to window as I make my way downstairs.  Then once in the kitchen I look out onto the serene scene of our backyard, checking out who's at the feeders that I filled the night before.  Lot's of activity. 

That's when I saw 'her' a female Ruby-Throated Hummingbird.  You can image my joy at being in the right spot at the right time.  As soon as she headed for my Hummingbird feeder, I grabbed my camera (always at the ready these days) and went out onto the deck.  Much to my disappointment she was gone. And I saw why, I forgot to fill that feeder.  Needless to say I filled it immediately and then I hoped she would be back.

So as my morning progressed, no more sightings.  I watered all my deck plants, packed lunches for my husband and  I to take to work.  All showered and ready to leave and lo and behold she was there again, this time actually feeding from the feeder.  I get my camera and she flies away.   So as time is ticking by and I know I should be on my way to work I stand there waiting for her to come back, I actually contemplated staying home so I would get a chance to see her again. 

So here I am at work only writing about the bird I saw this morning instead of photographing her myself.  I can't help but think that perhaps she went and got her friends once she knew the feeder was full again. 

Maybe tomorrow she will be back....
