My main attraction for hummingbirds (an otherwise loathsome trumpet
vine, which was here when I bought the house) is dropping blooms, some
helped along by a juvenile cardinal which, for some reason, is pecking
the blossoms off. Therefore I have seen NO hummingbirds. Last year I
got to see them for lengthy periods just by looking out my kitchen window.
