It Was April 14– Still No Hummingbirds
Author: siggyIt 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.
