For the past two days we�ve had one hummingbird feeding daylong, from dawn to dusk. But this morning we�ve got two at our home. While my roof is temporarily covered from hurricane damage, I�m less concerned about the roof and more curious to see what the hummingbirds do as Zeta is due to approach at pre-Dawn this Thursday. Will they retreat soon by flying southwest, skirting the Texas coastline toward Mexico? Or, will some make the trek across the Gulf of Mexico, even though the hurricane is due to start traversing those waters today? This morning they interact amusingly, by flying vertically, like twin beings on parallel pulleys, much like the mating rituals. Sometimes they chase each other off the feeders and off the cigar blossoms. They also tolerate each other, one feeding at the feeder while the other sits perched atop the shepherds� hook. Meanwhile, we watch them and enjoy their presence.
