They're Baaaack!
May 2nd, 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.  Undecided  They are the coolest birds to watch.

I am a bird fanatic.  Cool

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. Undecided

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? Undecided    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.
