    I opened the garage door this morning and when I walked in there was a male hummingbird buzzing around. Evidently he had been trapped in there all night. I opened the other two garage doors and after an hour he finally found his way out. I bet he went straight to the feeder! It is facinating to watch them feed. Our feeder is right off the deck and they will come up and feed while you are setting out there. I was watching a female feed this morning and the feeder was only about 3 ft. from me. She sat and drank for almost 10 minutes.

    I'm afraid not Sharon. :( The nearest we've ever come to one is to get the odd Hummingbird Hawk Moth paying us a visit. :'(
