Surprised to see a hummingbird robbing a closed Nicotiana just like bumble bees. Probably looking for hiding insects?
Garden is now in peak bloom with fall blooming Tithonias, Asters (Boltonia, Symphiotrichum varieties, Eurybia divaricata, Tatarian), Salvias, Maximilian Sunflower, Solidago speciosa/nemoralis, White and Purple Vernonia noveborascensis, Verbesina alternifolia, Eupatorium perfoliatum and late blooming Sunflowers (Maximilian, salicifolius, angustifolia). Second flush on Caenothus delileanus Gloire de Versailles is luring hummingbirds. They also seem to be enjoying catching insects from asters. Will post a photo of one area in the Habitat Category.
