Willie has kept a 6:36 a.m. schedule for the third day in a row now.
After his first just-checking visit to the feeder, he made four more
visits in the first two minutes.
Virginia tried yesterday to find his sitting place when he leaves his
favorite cedar bush near the feeder but was unsuccessful. She did get
to observe something we had heard about from others but had never seen
ourselves - a hummer catching insects. Willie sat on the wrought iron
holder where he often sits before coming to the feeder and repeatedly
flew out to catch insects just like a regular flycatcher. Guess he was
tired of a sugar water diet and needed some protein. It seems there is
always something new to learn about birds.
