This morning I had the privilege to watch a female RTHumminbird work very carefully and thoroughly among Common Witch-Hazel flowers. She even sat on a branch for a few moments, to take advantage of several flowers clustered close together. We have lived here for exactly 30 years, and I have always marveled at the Common Witch Hazel just outside my kitchen window, with its peculiar yellow flowers which it produces September to November. I have never seen a Ruby-throated Hummingbird seek nectar from the Witch Hazel before.
