Hummingbirds in Fall

A hummingbird flew through my yard today and stopped in to feed NEAR the hummingbird feeder. He actually hovered over the red plastic covered dog run wire thinking that this was food. Earlier this summer I watched a hummingbird hover at a large spider web and dart into the center of the web to peck at the spider. This hummer appeared to have a yellowish breast and sat inside a liliac bush, then darted off into the fenceline brush. Next year I hope to have red hot poker planted near the fenceline to attract more hummingbirds.
