Siggy's Blurbs: Siggy's Edge of Country …

It was April 14–still no hummingbirds.  I keep looking out my window and wonder when I will see the first one.  Pretty soon I will have to put out fresh nectar.  It only lasts so long.  I will have to consult my bird journal to see when I put out the nectar.  It always amazes me.  Did one fly thousands of miles and remember the spot I put out nectar last year or how did they locate my nectar for the first time!  Every year I wait for them to appear outside my large living room window.  My sister who lives in California gets different species of hummingbirds.  We don’t here:  The ruby throated hummingbird is the only variety in the East.  Hummingbirds are marvelous to watch.
