Girls in the habitat, unusually warm weather for the 16th of September in Michigan, 84 degrees, sunshine, slight breeze. There's a generous selection of flowers (also known as hummingbird bait :-) and my migrating girls were enjoying their feast. Hisbiscus, nasturtiums, canna, lantana, turtle head, lobelia pink and blue, salvia: Wendy's Wish, and Black and Blue, monarda, foxglove, honeysuckle, delphinium, coral bells, dicentria luxuriant, walker's low catmint, and Agastache, phlox. Deadheading keeps the flowers producing nectar. I've read hummingbirds travel solo as they migrate--but sometimes I wonder if there are exceptions --as like other visitors in previous fall migrations, this group acts, plays, and share perching sites with one another. It's obvious that they are not strangers :-)
