Hummingbird

The crew were back at dawn to spread more sand in a chilly drizzle.  I missed this being asleep, dry and warm.  I had stocked the feeders yesterday evening so I wouldn't have to rush out first thing and a bluebird was grateful.  But his method of eating mealworms threw more on the ground than he got in his beak.  A blue jay was neater, but then barkbutter balls are less flighty. 

The sun emerged and warmed up the afternoon, but not enough that I felt like getting wet.   A mockingbird investigated what was left of bird food.  Toward evening, I saw a dark hummer at the feeder.  I assume it was a male.  I didn't get a photo and it didn't come back, alas.  I also glimpsed a pine warbler.
