Late October rain was falling while the humming bird perched on the feeder.
Balcony Hummer sits on feeder. 
Here is the Anna's Hummingbird close up protecting the feeder from all other intruders.
The Gartenmeister Fuchsia attracts hummingbirds and blooms from July to when ever the frost brings dormancy. Even though the hummers have the feeder, they check the fuchsia bloosoms for nectar everyday. Gartenmeister is an upright perennial fuchsia that grows in pots but will do well in the ground growing several feet after a spring pruning.
Fascinating that nineteen floors above busy Seattle city streets the humming birds have found this feeder, arriving every morning at sunrise and leaving every evening at sunset. Are they here for the fall or will they spend the winter? I will keep you posted.

Wow! It is definitely amazing to see a hummingbird so high up in downtown Seattle. That's really cool that you were able to get a picture; it's probably not that often that someone is able to capture such a unique moment.
