While I was outside with my dogs tonight I walked over to the bush which the hummers were attracted to last year. The flowers had just barely bloomed so I was not expecting to see a Hummingbird at all. I just wanted to see the flowers more or less. Much to my surprise (and delight!!) I saw something flying around on the opposite side of the bush. At first I dismissed it as a bumble bee, but upon closer inspection it registered that it was a Hummingbird!!
According to the research that I did online, they weren't supposed to arrive in my area until the middle of May. I guess this little bird didn't know that as it showed up 2 weeks early!!
So, tomorrow I'm off to Wal-Mart to buy a feeder or two. Hopefully I'll be able to get some really nice pictures of these tiny little angles!! Can anyone recommend which feeder is the best?? What about the nectar, do you make it yourself or buy it in the store?? Any info on how to keep my new birdies happy would be appreciated!!
