Safe travels
I believe the hummingbirds are on their way south, because it's been a few days since I last saw one at my feeder. I'm keeping the feeder up in case a traveling hummer chances by. And I am posting this photo from the archives to wish them all safe travels as they make their long journeys south.
About this photo: in July of 2016, I was treated to the delightful scene of a female Ruby-throated Hummingbird bathing herself on the leaf of a large hosta plant, still wet with drops of water from the previous night's rain. She seemed to be thoroughly enjoying cleaning her feathers by moving her little body around on the wet leaf. It was such a treat to watch her.
