They climb anything to get that sugar water. I don't want to kill them though, so no poisons please.

We do not leave our doors open too long as our kittys are inside only. We don't need them sneaking out on us thus the quickly shut doors. One Wren came in through the chimney and one was on the front door garland and when the door was open, it flew inside. Ha, those silly birds. Love em though! I cannot believe you have only met one blogger in your many years of blogging. We are in the Augusta area which is close so you should come by to see us sometime. We would love to have your see our woods and gardens....

My photo perch for photographing birds is inside my small powder room. In summer, when shooting the hummingbirds, I leave the window open (no screen). One day while pointing the lens outside, a hummer came right up to my lens, then flew behind me inside the room. I was shocked. No need to capture, it left itself out. But this is not the first one that tried to get in, so there must be a reason they do.
