Title: They're Baaaack!
Post by midwestbeth on May 2^nd, 2009 at 9:49am

The hummingbirds!! Saw my first one of the year this morning. Got out all the feeders and gonna mix up some food. First week of May and they are right on time.

Also saw a Kingfisher last night. He flew away just as I was taking his pic. :-/ They are the coolest birds to watch.

I am a bird fanatic. 8-)

I'm making a hummingbird right now. Can't wait to see the real ones around here! Perhaps I should hang the feeders, even though it is early. :-/

We had our first one of the year trapped in our garage.
I put out the feeders last week, but have yet to see any using them.

I wonder why I don't get them around here till August? :-/ Do you think it's because I'm in the city?

August is late for hummingbirds. I have them buzzing all over the place right now. I do have several flowering shrubs and tress that they love.

It is funny, I can already tell some of them apart by their personalities. One likes to hover about chest high and cheep at me.

I usually get them around August 1st and they are here till late September. One time one stuck around till November! I thought he would freeze to death!
