Hummingbirds










It is that time of the year again. Time for the daily (sometimes twice a day) filling of the hummingbird feeders. I generally put out three or four and fill them each morning, however last year I was filling them morning and afternoon on some days. One morning I counted no less than 18 of the little hummers feeding at the two feeders near my front door.

The first few weeks they will fly off when I walk out the door and will not return until I move a fair distance away. Then as the summer progresses they get really brave (or hungry) and will even feed while I am holding the feeder.

I am posting a couple of photos from last year and will post more this summer when I can get some good snapshots.

Enjoy!!
