I've never been able to draw them to feeders, but then I never have been very diligent to keep them cleaned and filled. I occassionally see them out in the back garden at the red bee balm and they are probably around more than I think, but with working all day, I'm sure I miss their visits.<br />CindyCustom Comfortshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14632267295969050029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341838200122042033.post-85987516789600142102012-08-05T22:55:02.846-04:002012-08-05T22:55:02.846-04:00Wow, did you ever get some great shots.
