OMG melody, I got a quick vision of a giant hummer plucking a cat from the fence the way they grab spiders from their webs.

Our year round Anna's are no better than the rubies. They are especially irracible during mating season.

This is the Chief Grumbler. The hoya he is sitting on is inside my patio about 5 feet from my sliding doors. He sits there and mumbles and grumbles and cusses all day long until the sun is low enough and then he moves to the plum tree. The hoya is midway between two feeders and it is a full time job guarding them both. We get to sit in the family room and laugh at his antics and those of a young juvenile that seems to derive a great deal of pleasure in making the King hummer crazy. Just like a teen, huh?
