Hummingbird hangout

While I work in the sunroom this little guy and many of his friends buzz in, have a drink then fly away. At times
a hornet will find the sugar water and stand there on its hind insect legs shooing the hummingbirds off. Someone told me to put an apple core to the side so they won't do this. It works!

Been cleaning up, clearing out and organizing today. It sure feels good to know where everything is!

    I've never heard the apple core trick before, I'll have to try if if I get that problem.

    It's amazing to see the struggle between bird and
    insect!

    Thanks for the apple idea. I've never heard that before, but will definitely give it a try.

    Hope it works for you too. Today they're dive bombing the hummingbirds. And they need the calories especially now for their long migration!
