Aftermath and Insight... (Feeder Warfare, pt II)

Phoenix at work.

The next morning I found that Green Light was gone.  I will miss him.  Green Light taught me that curiosity + courage = the ability to learn, or intelligence.  For that I am grateful.

There is a new bird in his territory.  This new hummingbird - I call him Phoenix - is less accustomed to my presence.  He bails at the slightest movement, though he started working flowers by the end of his second day.  I use my longest lens to afford him the most distance I can and work more slowly with him than his predecessor.  Still, he seems to be intelligent, if only he can overcome his fear.
