Every day I peer at my hummingbird feeder, which is only three feet from my front window and sways slightly in the breeze. It was just last week I put out fresh nectar. In the past, the first hummingbirds did not appear until the end of the month. Nevertheless, I keep thinking I will see one any minute and periodically stare at it for a number of seconds each day. Maybe, this will be the year they appear earlier. They had a long flight to get here. I am hopeful any way.

The hummingbird hovered over its feeder but did not feed. I thought, maybe, it was time to put out fresh nectar and clean the feeder. I did that and minutes after I put back the feeder the hummingbird was feeding on the nectar I had just prepared. I was really glad to see the bird come back.
