I admit, I was so happy to see that ruby throat. And I mean in real life! The camera really impressed me, too! It's weird how the hummingbirds fly away from me if I get too close to a plant, but I was just standing there and it flew over. It almost makes you wonder if they somehow "know" people are providing that food. I'm probably just hoping they do.
I did have a question I'd like to pose to everyone. Now, I wouldn't mind setting up a bird feeder or a birdhouse, but as you all know, I don't want the birds eating all my caterpillars. Just looking around this evening, I think I have plenty of habitat, so I don't really know if I would need something like a birdhouse. But if I got a bird feeder, are there certain types of birds I could try attracting that wold just be seed eaters and not go after my caterpillars?
