Couple of photos added. When the Skink showed up just below the feeder. The hummers wouldn't feed. Never had a skink that looks quite like this show up before.

I was thinking Humvees. These are prettier though.

Great pics. I tried to get some pics yesterday of ours but none of them turned out real good.
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

And they aren't the same bird. One is a Ruby Throated and the other is a Black Chinned. We have never had a black chinned at my house. I think we are too far east.

I saw the original bird fly up to a tree above and just a minute or so later one came from the same area. I have at least 6 to 8 hummers showing up now. I am setting up a corner of the garden just for them. I have planted Honeysuckle, Turks Cap, Hummingbird bush and Shrimp plant just to attract them, in addition to 2 feeders. I watch them for hours every week.

"Don't forget trumpet vine & Butterfly bush. They love both."
I had a young Butterfly bush that I lost in the freeze a couple months back. Its on my list again.
