My transient popualtion of hummers doubled this year to two.  I know there
were 2 because one chased the other from the feeder.  Before the one
passer-through world eat until he was ready to burst.  I sat near the feeder
one afternoon and got the examination you all were talking about.  Reminded
me of a story in Smithsonian, entitled "So tiny, so pretty, so MEAN".  was a
very informative article.  Rich in Z-5 where it was 20 this morning.
