The humming birds

[LizStreithorst]

They are passing through in droves heading south.  I have 2 feeders up and 8 hummers are fighting one another away from each feeder.  I need to buy another feeder and put in out of sight from the 2 others.  These tiny little birds have an impossible journey ahead of them.  They need to tank up now!

What a neat experience, to witness migrating hummingbirds.  I'm sure they "appreciate" your caring for their well being.

We put out 3 feeders around memorial day and have to make sugar water by the gallon! We just stopped re-filling this week. The garden has an incredible "hum" to it all summer long. I declare summer over when the hummers are gone. We had a bunch of ruby-throats in the mix this year. Hopefully we'll get a third species next year!
