Ready for the Hummers!
I put up my hummingbird feeder today, and hope to have lots of customers this Summer.
after being spurred on by my daughter last year, i decided to try attracting our local hummers. I've seen a few around here in years past, so maybe they will like my spot and decide to make it a regular stop.
I'm using Hummingbird nectar from First Nature (find it at Wal-mart)which is supposed to be pretty good stuff. I also checked the migration map for Ruby-throated hummers, and found that they just flew into our area a couple of days ago. So i'm hoping that a nice attractive feeder,a good open location, and flying insects will add up to lots of visitors.
ps. this is the same window on which i hang my Christmas wreaths. Last Christmas some birds decided to 'investiate' the wreathes and steal the berries. but the joke was on them as the berries were only wax.

Oooh, hummers! Still a little early here (I've been watching the geese and ducks landing on our frozen pond this morning). Can't wait to see them!
It kills me that I couldn't get any decent pictures of them last year. Something tells me I'll be spending a LOT of time at the patio door in the coming weeks!
