Hummingbird Garden

Hummingbird spotted in Key West 01/05/10

I had one come in this morning. He was flying around some potted hibiscus near the front door. He stayed around for about 10 minutes before leaving.

A deceased neighbor use to get quite a few in flowering hedges she had, but the new owners have removed all the plants in the last few months, so this boy seemed to be looking elsewhere for sustenance in the immediate area.

I'm not sure if they feed off hibiscus but unfortunately none of mine are in bloom at the moment.
