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.

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.
