He couldn't believe we took them for granted.

On the flip side, when I was in Darwin, NT, Australia, I marveled when I saw groups of these handsome fellows in the trees:

Have not seen any hummers around here for at least 4 years. We used to go through a lot of hummer food. Maybe if we hang out a feeder or 3 we will see them again. Have to talk about that with the boss.

Finally! I've had a feeder out for the last few days, and finally our black-chins have arrived today.
