Re: yesterday's post, John Sachs of Poison Ivy.Org has (correctly, I think) identified my 5-leaf poison ivy as Virginia Creeper.
As long as I can remember, we had always used the name Virginia Creeper interchangeably with Trumpet Vine – a totally different plant.
Our only explanation for the 3-leaf branches on the vines in our trees is that there are Poison Ivy and Virginia Creeper vines so intertwined that you can’t tell where one ends and the other begins.

Re: my post on Hummingbirds, a good friend sent me a link to a live webcam watching a Hummingbird Nest. You really ought to check it out. In addition to the live webcam, the site also has some great videos from previous years.
We added two more feeders, and after wearing himself out trying to defend all three for a couple of days, the Red Baron has now resigned himself to just defending the first one.
He still won’t let any other birds feed on it. The only time another bird gets to it is when the Baron is chasing some other bird off.
