The first week that we were in our house, before the furniture came, Sara and Lisa and I were at Shopko. They had fuschia plants on clearance and, knowing I had this wonderful pergola over my deck, I brought two home. It wasn't half an hour after I hung them up that a hummingbird came flitting by to check them out. The next day, we went shopping again and brought home a hummingbird feeder. Now we have a regular parade of hummers. This video is just a few minutes this morning. I've seen as many as five at a time competing for the feeder. They do sip a little at the fuschias also, but they much prefer the feeder. The best part of this movie is at the end. Of course it's much better in person.

Wow! So many in one place! Hopefully they don't start dive bombing your heads ;) "Rambo Hummer!"
We have a tree by our fence that hummingbirds like to perch on. They come hang out for a minute or two then flit off. Very fun to watch.
What a nice thing to have around the house.
