I finally got hummingbirds at my feeder!!! I can’t even explain to you how excited I was when I first saw a hummingbird mingle around my feeder. I had to contain my overly rambunctious excitement just so I wouldn’t scare the little hummer away. I have been trying for over a year now to entice hummers to my beautiful feeder that I received from my husband for my birthday. A YEAR I tell you!!! I would see hummers fly in and out of my yard but couldn’t figure out why they wouldn’t stop for a tasty little drink. Was it my feeder, they didn’t like the color orange, hum...anyway, they like me now!
I have about three hummers who have decided to take up residence in my yard. I have a beautiful green Rufous one who I believe is female and a smaller youngling one that I noticed today. Then there is the fab’ Ruby-throated male who is so timid and spooks easily that I haven’t been able to photograph him. I’m determined!
