Woo Hooooooooooooooo!!!!!
Yee Haw!!
I was sitting in my kitchen playing the banjo and I looked at my window feeder and sure enough there was a male hummer drinking from the feeder! I called my son over and as soon as he walked in the room he flew away.
I then went outside and hungout by my garden and sure enough a female flew around the feeder and when I moved she spooked. But she came back a took a few long drinks from the feeder. She then went to some monarda and took a short drink and flew away. She came back and did a show for my wife.
I am so excited. They are so cool! I am sure they are just finding my yard as I have yet to see the nectar levels drop at all in my three feeders. I hope I get as busy as hummersteve! :c)
I was most excited to see them actually come right up to my window. I know last year they flew right up to me once and took a long look. This is why I am surprised they seem so spooked.
Do they come most ofter at sunset? I read that they eat 5 to 7 times an hour, but I do not see them during the day. My only sightings seem to be before 11am and after 8pm.
It was so nice sitting out in the garden see the hummers, smelling the plants, and see bats fly around. Only thing is that the mosquitos were having a good time on me. :c(
