I had a covered call option exercised on Thursday. The option expires Friday, so it was exercised a day before I expected it. I've never had this happen before. Options are usually exercised when they expire, not a day before.
It's no big deal. Just weird. I went ahead and bought the stock back and sold another option against it.
Another strange thing is the hummingbird action around here. At least a dozen of them--and maybe closer to two dozen; they're hard to count--have staked a claim in the backyard. They're fighting over the two feeders, and it's absolutely bonkers. They've always been territorial over food sources, but these past couple of weeks have been different. It's like they're on crystal meth or something. I've never seen them this aggressive before.
To make it even more weird, almost all are female. I think there's only one male in the bunch. Where are the other males? Have they already left for Mexico? It's awfully early for migration, but that's the only thing I can figure.
When it rained a day or two ago, one of the hummers just sat on the feeder perch and bathed in the rain. She raised her head to the sky and fluttered her wings. It was pretty neat. It was like the hummingbird version of this:
Your hummingbirds sound lovely. We had to take our feeder down because the squirrels are after it. The pretty much invert it and guzzle. But I used to love watching the hummingbirds fly in waves for feeding.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried the "baffle" things? They work pretty well for regular seed feeders, so I imagine they'd work for hummingbird feeders, too, depending on your setup. Example:
