[TN-Bird] Hummer delight

Greetings,

Having not seen a hummingbird at my feeder since Monday, September 15. I was 
very excited to have THREE show up to feed in the slight drizzle we had at 
5:15 PM today.  One fed extensively at the feeder, another must have sated 
itself 
before I went to the kitchen as it flew to a tree from whence it has not 
returned, and the third was engaged in an altercation with a female redstart 
apparently over a small airborne "flotilla" of little gnatty insects that were 
hanging out above my althea bush.  As the shower increased in force, everyone 
headed for back yard trees.  I don't know if they'll leave in this weather 
tonight 
(they say it might get BAD), or if I'll still have them in the morning.  It 
was very windy here seemingly from the Northwest about an hour ago, so maybe it 
brought the birds in.  Anyhow, I was glad to see the hummers.  They are soooo 
special.
