    From Pekin, IL:
    A young male ruby-throated hummingbird checks out the security camera in this backyard. He's ready for his close-up, Mr. DeMille.

      @brenda "Near George?"

      It's over 150 miles!

      But the pic is cool!

          A true Minnesooootan would have said, "It's over 2 hours."

          But I'm not that person.

              I think it's nearer to you than anyone else here, thus it's near George.

              Yes, the pic is very cool!

                      I knew a girl from Pekin, IL. I did t realize it was that far from Chicago. I thought it was an outer burb.
