A hummingbird appears

Stymied by our urban bears, we can't have bird feeders or hummingbird feeders at ground level this summer in Asheville.

Note this fellow's activities in this post in Places of the Spirit:

He enjoyed the bird seeds followed up by a downing of sugar water from the hummingbird feeder.

So, we've regrouped and added supports for feeders up on our covered deck, both for hummingbirds and for seed feeders.

Happily, a hummingbird appeared today, visiting, shortly after the feeder was up.
