I haven't seen a hummingbird in the backyard yet, but then again, I have not put up a feeder because it attracts too many wasps, which means that I also am not providing an incentive for Baltimore orioles either. I have also not filled the seed/nut feeder in quite some time because it brings in cowbirds, grackles and RWBBs, including squirrels and other rodents. At the same time it fails to entice Red-breasted grosbeaks, which is not a good thing. I saw hummingbirds at Petticoat Creek Park a few days ago for the first time this year. So, I'm thinking, despite the risk of calamity, ... why do you have all your cameras at the cottage? I mean, are we talking about a stash of cameras? Do you have one of those secret compartments at the cottage, where you press a hidden button and a panel in the wall pops open and there is your entire arsenal of cameras and photographic accessories? You do, ... don't you? To think that I used to like you.
