    Yesterday working in flower beds. They Dived bombed me more then normal. I looked at 1 feeder. One small one at it extra long time. Able to go over. Pick it up. Either very tired or sick. Picked her up talked softly-rub her chest. Did this for a while. Took to another feeder. She drank. Rubbed some more. Open my hand flew away. Of course had to p** first in my hand. Could tell was not scared -knew I was there for help. :-D

    This little gem visited me every day when I first moved into this house. He flew into the house when I was moving boxes in. Then he got stuck and couldn't find his way out and of course tried to fly into the picture window. I had to capture him with a towel as not to hurt him and release him.

    He was cute and so very friendly.
