Among the host of wildlife hanging around the Mystic homestead are a couple very regular hummingbirds and the usual suburban contingent of squirrels. It took an hour or so sitting on the deck waiting for the hummingbirds to appear. They did periodically about thirty minutes apart and for only a half-a-minute at a time. Having some reading material was not beneficial for picture taking but made the time go faster. I ended up not reading after missing one visit.

The squirrels were mostly eating all the other bird feed on the ground by the other feeder and seemed to be somewhat disgusted the dude of the house had not put more bird feed out.
