I got excited! I thought I saw little one again! Resting on one of my hanging planters where the feeder is.

Moved to the nearby hanging planter, on closer look, nope, not this one..the other one had a red throat.

Too bad you couldn't have somehow tagged him so you would be able to tell for sure when you saw him.

So, so small and delicate - and then you get this one walking around me last week at 6' tall. Nature is just so awe-inspiring.

So happy that the hummie made it!!!

I agree ~ Nature is very awe inspiring!

Interesting bird, Glen! Thick feet and that crown looks hard and thick too! I bet it can put a hurt on! I've never seen one before, ever, anywhere! What is it? Kinda looks like an ostrich but kinda looks like an emu Blinking

Glen - Isn't that a cassowary? World's most dangerous bird? Can kill a human with a single kick to the chest, let alone the claws... Why on earth was one walking around you.. or rather yet, why were you allowing one to walk around you? Do you work at a zoo or nature preserve or something?
