Last night a hummingbird was looking for my nectar I usually put out for him/her. I spotted the bird alighting on a branch of the pine tree ten feet from where the feeder used to be. Since the bear tore that feeder down, I had not put any up, again. I felt so bad that I immediately made some more and filled my feeder for him and put it up again. Within fifteen minutes. I am hoping the hummingbird tries, again. I know it will take time for the hummingbirds to realize there is nectar there for them again. I felt so disheartened when a bear came in our yard twice and raided all our bird feeders. I felt helpless.

I put out nectar for the hummingbirds. Let us see when I see the first one. Traditionally it is usually by the end of April. It has been abnormally cold the beginning of spring. It is just now starting to warm up so we will keep an outlook for the first one of the year. I expect it will be like other years and I won’t spot one until the end of this month. Only time will tell.
