Birders,
This morning I saw a Hummer doing something I have seldom seen, gleaning. I
have a 10' sunflower plant with many blooms and it is mostly full of
Goldfinches. I looked out this morning and there was a female Hummer gleaning
a stalk and I could see the tiny, tiny ants she was licking up with her long
tongue. (The Sunflower is just a couple of feet from a window) That was very
amazing for me!
