They're so pretty! I need to put out some orange slices or something. I haven't seen any yet this year.

I just put cheap grape jelly on my shopping list. I put a hummingbird feeder up yesterday near the buckeye where they were hanging out. They are buzzing and doing the swing dance there already. I don't know if it has any nectar or do they just like its color.

He's gorgeous! I've never seen any here, not that I put anything out to encourage them. I'm lucky to maintain the hummer feeders.

I saw a bright orange and black male yesterday, but today a woodpecker is eating the jelly. I know him but will have to look in my book. He has a red head and is not the little downy. I like him too.
