I have a hummingbird feeder.* I haven’t had one in years, and even back then I didn’t pay much attention to it before the snow and ice of a Durango winter destroyed it. Now I have a new one in my kitchen bay window. It started out with only one lonely bird about the size of the bishop on my chessboard. It’s bill was almost as long as it was tall. Delicate and thirsty, it came a dozen times a day. They say their wings beat at close to 200 times a minute to keep them afloat. I got tired just thinking about that. Only that one came for over a week. It was like he wore repulsion spray. I was really surprised we didn’t’ have more? Could it be that they were endangered in my neighborhood? Was the “hooch” not up to par? Did I need to provide bar stool seating for them?
