If I want cake (rare) I'll buy a mix. The hummingbirds are out in force
this week. My computer desk is in the corner of the living room. I
can see the feeder where I sit. Yesterday one of them had a nice long
sip from the feeder, then flew over and hovered in front of the window,
looking at me. Another one was very curious about the tufted
titmouse that was flitting around in the branches of the azalea bush on
the other side of the feeder.
