To me, summer has arrived when the Hummingbirds come back.
They've been back for about a week but only spotted a few of them yesterday .
Check out the long sipping-straw-like beak.
Nothing like putting your whole face in your food dish.
I've got the nectar recipe just right. 1 cup of water and stir until dissolved 1/4 cup sugar. I change it every few days unless it gets really hot outside, then it gets replaced every morning.
They are just so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI got to hold one in my hand one time that flew into the window at work...I brought him in and my boss found a shoebox and we put him in there while we had lunch...we heard it start moving...so I got it and took it outside and held it till it got its senses back and took off.
