Thanks, Ann.
I didn't see one out there today, but it may have been a little early
for them. I'll be checking back periodically. They're just fun to watch,
aren't they?

An interesting development occurred at the hummingbird feeder this
morning. I've been taking shots of a mantis that's been hanging out
there for the past several days. Then, late last night, I noticed there
were two of them there, but the light was so low I didn't even bother
to
grab the camera as focusing would have been out of the question. So, I
put it off hoping they might still be there this morning.
Well, they were. And it seems they've gotten one another's attention.
The one on the bottom actually struck out at the one on top before
scurrying back down to the bottom of the feeder. Unfortunately, I
wasn't
quick enough to capture it. But, I was pretty happy to get this shot
nonetheless.
