Like a family pet

Three hummingbirds in aerial attack mode are entertaining me this afternoon on the deck.
The bravest one hovers near me, probably because of my red Coca~Cola shirt. Wanting to talk, the hummer buzzes closer before checking out the red vinca, the best floral container-garden specimen of the season. Friends, the other two hummies, dive bomb the vinca garden and that ends the conversation for a few moments. Then, like a family pet, the first hummer returns and fusses with dramatics at the feeder, which is low of their favorite juice. "So, is your bowl empty," I think, and chuckle to myself, making a mental note to fill the feeder tomorrow.
