[Dthomp2669@xxxxxxx]

Greetings from the Charlotte Park are of West Nashville (Davidson County) 
just east of the Cleece's Ferry boat ramp.
For most of this midday time, I've had a female ruby throated hummingbird 
shopping from my feeder to the cypress vine blossoms to the blooming basil for 
sips of sugar.  She has just been joined by a young male who is 
flight-following 
her from one place to the next hoping to sip any remaining nectar she leaves. 
 

They are such a joy to see, and I do not look forward to seeing the time when 
they will all leave me for their wintering grounds far to our south.  I do 
intend to keep my feeder filled for any possible over-wintering birds that 
might 
come around.  Hopefully, I'll get some more of the birds that come around 
from the West during the winter.

Enjoy.

Cheers & prayers,

Dee Thompson
Nashville, TN
