[Maine-birds] Hummers again

Oh boy! I got two quick visits to the hummingbird feeder today - one
at 2pm and the other around 5:30pm (Cape Neddick west of turnpike
circa mile marker 13.2.) Another hummer kept poking into the new
growth tips of my blue spruce, have no clue as to why. While working
in the garden, these guys are too quick for this "advanced beginner"
to even go for the binocs or even raise them. But I'm tickled they're
back.

Also ID'd a Blue-eyed Vireo after hunting him down by call. It was
those white eye rings that made me giggle like a school kid -- just
like in the book. Remember your 'Beginner's Mind'?

Thanks to everyone on the list - you are all teachers.
