I'm a long time banker having worked in banks since the age of 17. I took a break when I turned 50 and went back to school. I graduated right when the economy took a turn for the worst and after a year of library work found myself unemployed. I was lucky that my previous bank employer wanted me back. So here I am again, a long time banker. Change is hard.
What a great view from your chair! I don’t think I’d ever get a thing done sitting there, there’s so much nature to watch! I hope this poor little guy found something tasty. He’s probably young enough for you to train him to eat right from your hand!
They sure are. I put all the feeders away for a couple weeks when we had some work done. The birds abandoned me almost immediately. But when I was out filling the feeders again they came swarming back. It was pretty cool. So I think they watch the house most of the time.
Ha ha – good thing that the beak didn’t get stuck in the port because Mama would have come over and squawked at you, even though it’s the kid’s fault! You had a bird’s eye view of this fun show!
One of the little white plastic flowers is now missing and there’s a much bigger hole…however, today he was still sticking his tongue down one of the smaller openings.
Oh, this made me grin so big! 🙂 I love your “bird talk”, Dawn. Maybe we humans could use a little “bird talk” these days. Let’s love whatever and whoever we see. 🙂
Our local bear has destroyed 2 of my hummingbird feeders in the past week. I thought he would ignore that feeder (I removed all my seed/suet feeders for the summer to prevent him from coming back), but I guess bears have a sweet tooth too.
Well at least I don’t have a bear problem. Though there have been reported sightings of bear in the town just a few miles north of us. WAY too far south for bears to be around here, so don’t know if I believe them…but still….it’s possible I guess.

Never, ever, ever give up! Where there’s a will, there’s a way! Hey lady–how in the heck do I get into this thing?! A fun post, Dawn.

I think the feeder is leaking and there are drops of sugar water hanging under it. Or….not. He’s here all the time now.

I think he likes the sugar water. We have two large bird baths on the deck railing. He might have a sweet tooth.

I hope its tongue doesn’t get damaged doing that – SMH. I saw you had an ant moat, so he isn’t going after any ants trying to get into the feeder.
