Thanks for the Humming Bird pics. We used to have then all the time in So FL, but I can't remember the last time I saw one.

Mindo is awesome for birding. After I got back (of course) a friend recommended some cabins in the area that are a great deal. I spent about $100 per day including 3 meals. The place he was recommending would be more like $30 per day.

Put out feeders and keep them full - they'll find you again!

I agree! Also having blooming plants outdoors will attract them. As well as having heavily foliaged shrubs and trees nearby that they can perch and nest in.
