Subject: RE: BS: I just LOVE hummers!
There is a lady not too far from here that has an amazing hummer population. Even though it has been "profiled" in the newspaper, the location of her house has been kept rather secret because she doesn't appreciate the gawkers. She has an "old" house near "the marsh", and the house has many windows (22). She has feeders all over the place and she has the suction cup type feeders on every window.

Now, this is no lie... she gets over 200 hummers on her property some days... at the same time.

Of course, she knows a trick. Don't ask. She told me not to tell.

And, there is The Hummingbird Café in Alma, NB. They have hummer feeders on their dining room windows. Amazing to watch, while you have dessert... Hummingbird Pie... I am sure it's just frozen cheesecake from a grocery. But, if you ask the waitrees, she will tell you it's awful having to pluck them.... takes hours to make a pie.
