(93,885 posts)Hummingbirds at all anymore. I think it's been about two or three years since I've seen even one. I have flowers all around the place and out around three trees and there are about six different pollinators around all the time. I walk through a small swarm of them at the end of the walkway on my way to the car every day.

I tried to get the bees off the feeder but they were very persistent.

(60,165 posts)The feeder is right by the window were I sit.
I guess I was expecting them to say goodbye or leave me a nice little thank you note.
Not just depart suddenly.

(36,646 posts)She stopped inches from my face and Hubbard for a few seconds. Ive often thought they come up to say goodbye and hello. There was no doubt shes looking right at me

(60,165 posts)They come right up to the window and look at me.
They are suspended in midair hovering right in front of me.
I always think they are curious, like who is this person.
Why are they near my food supply.
Maybe I need to chase them away.
Or maybe they are just saying hi.
