MY FRIENDS THE
HUMMINGBIRDS
BY NELLIE S. COWLEY.

| first saw my little California hum
mingbird before my window, running
her bill into one clematis flower after
another. Finding nothing, she darted
off; but was soon back. Evidently
she was finding little to eat, so | mixed
some honey and water together, and
filled the blossoms. Presently she re-
turned, and, half-heartedly, tried a
flower. At the first taste, the whir of
her wings quickened, and, with an air
of pleased surprise. she cleaned up
every drop. Two or three other hum
mers discovered the new lunch-room
that afternoon. and it met with in
slant approval.
| had always supposed that hum
mingbirds were timid, but three days
after the first meal, one, growing i'm
patient, came down while | was filling
the flowers, and began to eat. After
wards she lowered around my head Il
minute. Another time she sat down
on the vine about foot from me,
and inspected me at her leisure. Later
| read in Il bulletin of the California
Fish and Game Commission that the
hummingbird was quite courageous.
