Had not seen any hummers in a week, then 3 days ago one showed up and has
stayed. It, like other migrants, ignores the feeder and prefers flowers,
especially our 'Amistad' salvias. This year the hummers spent more time at
this variety than the 'black and blue' salvia, cuphea or trumpet
honeysuckle. (Bumble bees and sweat bees love it too.)
