After I took my walk today (are you listening, Lisa?), I was outside cleaning the birdbath and refilling the bird feeder. I noticed both hummingbird feeders were empty and decided I better get them taken care of too. After I mixed up the sugar water I stepped out on the front porch and before I could hang the feeder –there he was!! Zoom looking at me as if to say “Hurry up, will you!” 
I still had my hand on the feeder and talked softly to him and told him to go ahead and eat. And he did!! He must have been starved. He sat there and ate and ate. He looked a little wobbly and weak.
He kept filling up and would fluff up and almost shook himself off the feeder once. He let me pet him!! I couldn’t believe it. I turned around and there was Nikki with her mouth hanging open.
I even had time to go inside and get the camera and he stayed there while I took his picture. He tolerated the flash and all.
He finally said he’d had enough and flew off. I hope he finds somewhere safe and warm to spend the night.

We'll just have to start calling you "The Bird Whisperer". Too cool.
Awesome! Has he been back?
