I have had a couple over the years come in and hit every hummer friendly flower I have. Most years if they come I never see them.
I did get a really good look (as good as after dark allows anyway) at a hummingbird moth one year. It was loving the bee balm.

Pretty freaking cool to me.
They are really drawn to the feeders.

We get so few that putting feeders just draws the wasps. We tried for several years with the fancy hummer feeders. No dice.
We go to a restaurant up the canyon that is able to draw them in in droves. I am guessing it has to do with elevation, the river running right behind the restaurant and other food available on their route like the wildflowers.
 
If I didn't plant for them and feed them they wouldn't swamp the yard.
I like watching things like that though. :)

It is a rough trip through town to get here by itty bitty wing. I am pretty much in the middle of town.
I do plant things they should like BUT not worth them risking life and limb to get here.
:eek:

Yes, we are right on the river and I do try to grow flowers.
 
Good morning folks :frow

We have a fair number of the hummers here as well.

Morning Bob. :frow

I am a bit envious of y'all that get those pretty little hummers. It makes I wouldn't get many at all here. We are way to dry to grow good hummer flowers.

Have an awesome day Bob.
