Cutie Hummer!

We have 3 feeders that have been very busy lately. It has been hard to capture any photos of these zippy friends- they are so busy fighting each other off, it seems they hardly have time to enjoy themselves & eat! It has been fun having them so close to the windows- we can hear them squeaking and chirping at each other angrily... is it strange that it makes us smile? :)

Hummingbird CRAZY!

Some folks are having GREAT success with their Hummingbirds!



Thank you Lynne Johnson for sending us this footage. AMAZING

Kent's on Talk of the Town

Today Kent was on Talk of the Town talking about hummingbirds. Usually he is interviewed by Lelan Statom, so this was a bit of a switch.

Window Hummingbird

Feeding Hummingbirds is great, but having them right on the window is MUCH better! Why feed the birds if you can't see them? I just don't get it when folks have their feeders so far from the house that they need binoculars in order to see who is partaking of the bounty. :-/ Anyway, there is no reason for that when there are so many different devices available that can bring the birds to you.

Hummers are here

We have been seeing the Hummingbirds here at the house since April 13th - two days earlier than usual. There are finally enough here to assure the ability to take some pictures. This male was perched at the very top of a Sumac tree in our clearing. I was not able to get him on the feeder, but that will come :)

I also wanted to share a couple of plants that bloom just in time for the Hummingbird's spring migration. Except for the Locust, which is at the Nashville store, the rest of these plants are very numerous on our property. This may account for the early arrival of our birds and the lucky fact that we have them visiting continuously Spring into Fall.
