2011 Hummingbirds
#22
Here the hummingbirds usually come back around April 15th (last year it was the 20th) so I put the food out today to be ready for them. Love to watch them. We use to go thru almost 2 quarts a day but for the last few years we don't have so many. I guess there's more people feeding them.

How exciting for all of you birders. My folks have a feeder for the hummingbirds now that dad has finally eliminated the plant that was taking over his yard that they loved (can't recall the name of it! ugh!). They get a few, but I haven't seen them myself -- yet.
For those of you who really love hummers, try this link for some fantastic photos: http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/933203

By next week she will probably have over 100 of them. She has ten of the tall feeders that she fills up every single day for them and they drink it all! Im glad she finds so much pleasure in them! She lives in the country and has had lots of birds come back every year for the last 5-10 years!

Reminds me of a dear friend in Michigan who SWEARS that the first humming bird of the season shows up at her house on the same date every year, and always within 1/2 hour of the same time. Not sure I'm buying that, but she refuses to do anything or go anywhere on that particular date.
