I am glad to be seeing this little lady visiting...
and I hope she brings her mate and their friends--or their rivals...
I know how territorial they can be.
Recreating a native habitat has been a dream of mine since I was about 18. It only took me 20 years, but I finally have two acres of land in the country with which to work (and play). My goal is to document the improvements I make to the property: restoring habitat & attracting birds and butterflies in addition to other wildlife.

Little Lady
I don't know if I have just not been watching, or what, but I haven't seen hummingbirds here for quite a while. So, imagine my surprise when I saw one right outside my window several weeks ago (when the Penstemon digitalis was finishing up).
I encountered this little lady again, yesterday, while walking past the trumpet vine (that I inherited from a previous owner--it has only begun to bloom over the
past two years.
Coming around the corner, I must have startled her...she took off ahead of me--probably the only reason I noticed. Luckily, I had my digital
camera with me, and I zoomed in to snap some pics when I saw her alight on a branch of an elm tree.
