I think I wrote the bit about the brown sugar because it surprised me a while back when I found out we bleach our sugar. They take the molasses bit out which gives it that brown coloring....hope you are well. I have some unpleasant business to take care of but I'm hoping soon I will be able to sit down and do some reading again. Life sometimes takes center stage.

There was a 20 something on the bridge trying to take a selfie right smack dab in the middle of the walkway. I had to clear him out of the way to make way for the two hikers. Our other birder friend, Gordon, would NOT cross! He just headed to the hummingbird gardens straight away:) It was a nice day though and not as birdy as I would have liked....but we had fun:)Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-77500423796182635232017-07-17T10:47:24.705-07:002017-07-17T10:47:24.705-07:00LOL!

It's fun to watch this little insect float around the flowers as if it were a bird:)Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-54446937326687823612017-07-17T06:38:48.297-07:002017-07-17T06:38:48.297-07:00Hello Chris!:) What a fantastic experience that mu...Hello Chris!:) What a fantastic experience that must have been, to see so many beautiful hummingbirds all in one place. Each one is delightful, and I also have a preference for the purple and violet ones. Lovely photos, and info about the nectar,...I didn't know exactly how much water to add, or that the sugar should be brown. We don't see them here of course, but I like knowing anyway.

I did see a Humming Bird Hawk Moth today, which is about as closer to a hummer as I can get!<br /><br />Cheers - Stewart M - Grindelwald, SwitzerlandStewart Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04622420206244603688noreply@blogger.com
