Hummingbird Garden

'My' Hummers are finally bee savy

16 years ago

Initially I saw the yellow jackets chasing off the birds...and FINALLY a few days ago....I saw one of the hummers fight back!!! I was inside cheering for him/her and he did a fly by the window!! (as if to say, "did you see that"!!!)

HA, ok well maybe he wasn't actually talking to me, but it was pretty cool....

The big bumble bees come around the feeders too, but they dont seem to mind sharing with them...it's those nasty yellow jackets...and they have been called out....

GO HUMMERS!!!!
