Supper Time!

Words that are guaranteed to bring children (and sometimes adults) out from whatever hiding place they happen to be in. It doesn't matter how loud you say it, either, for with these magical words, a whisper is as good as a bullhorn.

The animal kingdom is no different.

These female Anna's Hummingbirds must have heard those sweet words whispered upon the breeze, for they are racing toward the feeder (just out of frame on the left). I heard them come in from my right--the small hum was ever so faint at first, then louder and louder and louder, and before I knew it, here they came, racing in to the feeder.
