Spring Is Coming!

I live in Midwestern USA, and it is so comforting to see that it looks like spring is definitely on its way. We have been blessed with some beautiful, sunny 60+ degree days this past week. This time last year we were hip deep in snow with no end in sight. Everybody seems a bit more cheery when this weather comes around. One of the other things I am excited about is putting out my hummingbird feeder. I have been checking out the migration map on hummingbirds.net and can see they are on their way. These little guys are so cool, and so fun to watch. We get quite a few of them on the back side of the house where the sun shines the most, so I hang out the feeder on the back deck.  They are very funny to watch, as they are VERY territorial and like to chase each other away from the feeder. It gets pretty crazy when we get 3 or 4 at the feeder…you can get dizzy watching them flap their wings at up to 55 times per second! Hopefully perhaps I can get some pictures and upload them in the near future. Until then, happy spring!

  1. I love hummingbirds Paul, but have never seen one ‘in the feather’ so to speak, as there probably isn’t much flesh. You are very fortunate ! Enjoy your supportive posts.
