I took this photo of Buddy at the feeder. He will look me straight in the eye and suddenly come and hover in front of my face, within inches, while I talk or sing to him. He will do this several times in the morning and evenings. I put my feeders out about a week before they are due to come. I knew he had returned as he was excitedly chattering when he arrived and I could hear him through my window. He buzzed all around me for several minutes telling me hello.
