Our two female hummers have been here several days--don't know what's taking 
the male so long!  And I saw a lovely sight this afternoon--a male cardinal 
feeding a female.  She was well able to feed herself in between his finding the 
largest tidbits to bring to her.  Is this part of a mating ritual?  Surely it's 
too early for the female to be young, and she looked and acted like an adult.
