This summer has been filled with hummingbirds here. I have two feeders that have been buzzing with activity from dawn til dark. The hummers' whirring has accompanied my digging and hauling and struggling on the waterfall. They buzz, eat, fight, chase and perch right above my head, fearless of the humans, cats, dogs and kids right under them.
I thought the hummers had taken off on their long trip ahead, but yesterday heard that unmistakable sound and watched as one of them filled up for the flight. They have such heart for such a tiny creature. I'll be thinking of them as they fly south and look forward to their return.
