    Jim,
    The mental picture alone is just too brutal. (I believe some of my hummers just left over that one)

    I don't know if putting out my feeders early and keeping them changed made any difference - this is only the second year I've fed them. I wish I could get some of the ruby-throats or other colorful birds. I did see some last fall.

    PPB - I've been "gathering" plants all spring to attract them, but I STILL don't have them in the ground. Ya'll better look out when I get them planted - you may never have another hummer! ; - )

  • carrie751

    He's telling the truth, PPB, he is creating a hummer heaven.

  • prairiepaintbrush
    16 years ago

    hrmph. Well, if he doesn't get them in the ground he'll have a plant heaven - literally. I saw *one* hummer looking for our old feeder and it didn't seem to see the new one, and I haven't seen another.

  • melvalena

    *I* have at least one Ruby.

    uh, mel, where's the picture????? ; - )

  • melvalena
    16 years ago

    You know I can't take pictures of hummers.

    1. don't have the right camera--the one I have can't zoom enough.
    2. they're so fast--they zip in and out before I have a chance to even think about running for the camera.
    3. I don't have the time to just sit there waiting on 'em either.

    You'll just have to take my word for it. (Or come over here and help me, you'll see for yourself)

  • carrie751

    OH, Mel --- that is a zinger !!! Can't wait to see JD's response. LOL

  • melvalena
    16 years ago

    I didn't mean for it to sound so harsh...

    I've turned into a screaming banshee haven't I??

    This is not a good thing.

    I'm sorry JD.

    But I am still ticked off that I don't have time to sit around taking all those great photos you guys do.
    Maybe I need a wife?

  • jolanaweb
    16 years ago

    HAHAHAHA, harsh or not, FUNNY, LOL

    I have pics but you know who would make fun of them because they are not clear close ups, lol
    They are through a window, that was the only way I could get one, lol

  • pjtexgirl

    Don't feel bad! I can't find my *ss with both hands,much less a camera in time for a zippy wee bird! LOL!PJ

    J.D. are you really going to plant a garden, or are you just using those pots as an excuse to visit with these ladies on GW ?

    hmmmmmm.......picking up chicks on the Texas Gardening Forum. That MUST be a "You might be a redneck if.....". ; - )

    "Maybe I need a wife?" ~ ROFL Melvalena!

    Odds might rise if you change that to picking up chickweed at TGW.

    Mel,
    I knew what you meant. LOL I took no offense.

    I'm lucky to office out of my home. Of the 90-100 hrs/week that I work, much of it is spent right here - looking out my back window at the hummer feeders. (when I'm not luring them inside). ; - )

  • prairiepaintbrush
    16 years ago

    Yeah, PJ!!! Tiny and delicate! Say, how would you like to encounter a hummer if they were the size of a house cat??? Those suckers are MEAN!!! (and, no JD, I don't mean c*ts)

  • justintx

    Why, thank you, pj!! Surely you were lumping me in with you "tiny and delicate" types. ; - )

    PPB - you should really keep 'c*ts' in the proper forum. ; - )

    Of course we're tiny and delicate! A lot of 5'9" women are tiny and delicate! LOL! A hummer the size of a house cat would be a Harpy Eagle! Wouldn't that be spectacular with hummingbird colors????PJ
