| If you're seeing them in Arkansas, shoo them up this way.
I just put up a couple feeders this morning. I had a lot of hummingbirds last year so I'm hoping some of them find their way back to my yard and nest here.
There isn't anything blooming in my yard right now that would attract them, but my neighbor has a couple quince shrubs flowering. I planted a red flowered buckeye a couple years ago that's supposed to bloom early but I guess mine isn't big enough yet.

I did some googling an it looks like it might be the purple finch. I think this is what I have been seeing. So according to this report and others I have read. they are only here until May. So I hope they come back next year an stay for the winter. I will have to do some more reading about them so I can make sure I have what the "want" so they might stay next time. Bonnie |
