[TN-Bird] Rufous Hummingbird Day 90

It has been  three months that Willie has been here in Smithville  and I
am still up every morning anticipating his first trip to the sugar
water.  He came this morning at 6:05 for that first quick taste.  I was
thinking what a little creature of habit Willie is and about that time
the little      Song sparrow that always comes to the bare bush left of
the hummer feeder appeared.  I thought that sparrow is there early every
morning and late every afternoon. I know it is the same one because he
has a patch of black feathers on his left side.  A quick glance out the
back window to see that the Cardinals, Juncos and White-throated
sparrows were all in their usual places  assured me that they were right
on schedule.    I heard the neighbor start his truck  at 5:45 to leave
for work and watched the white suburban and the little blue truck that
speed down the road every morning at exactly 6:30 coming home from work.
As I hurried over to the sink to make a pot of coffee so I could
experience that first quick sip and saw Willie come back for the fifth
time and settle down for a nice long drink, I thought , you know what, I
guess we are all creatures of habit.
