They're back

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.

  1. They are just so beautiful!

    I 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.
