Hummingbirds are back in Llano county, Texas. March 15 2007.

Hummingbirds are attracted to many flowering plants especially those with red flowers.

I had just put a bougainvillea on the deck, which apparently attracted him. Hummingbirds  feed on the nectar of these plants and are important pollinators, especially of deep-throated flowers. Most species of hummingbird also take insects, especially when feeding young.
