Anne won't care as we are doing #1,4,5,6, and 20 of her thirty things

That's actually a violet-tailed sylph, one of my favorites:

This is a rufous-crested coquette. Totally different, but still adorable!

Sorry to hijack Anne's thread, but I freaking love hummingbirds. They're tiny, buzzing, flying jewels. I blame the hummer who decided to investigate whether my ear had any nectar when I was ten years old with my fascination.

Here is a news article about bullying advice.. left the school apologizing for a lot of things how to react to a bully

Awww! Poor hummer. They're so teeny tiny, it's amazing to me that they even survive cool nights, much less the migrating many of them do.

I love putting feeders out for hummers. We don't get nearly the variety of them here in Missouri that I used to have in Houston, of course. We mostly see ruby throats with an Anna's occasionally, and only for a couple of months of the year. But it's so fun to sit out on the deck while they come to the feeders just a couple of feet from us...they really are fearless little buggers, and so pugnacious! There's usually one that chases everyone off, so I have to make sure I have two feeders at opposite ends of the deck.
