It's Patriots Day weekend. Time for the hummingbird feeders to go out. Just one for now. This is watchable from the living room. Once I see one, other feeders will be put out.
How soon before you think you'll see one Mike? She has been chomping at the bit to put ours out. I told her end of the month. Shes HATES the suet splatter that gets the window dirty.
Any day around this weekend, most every year. wouldn’t surprise me if I see one this afternoon, or not until next weekend.
I didn't think there were any sightings in NH yet, but according to the tracker there are in the eastern (warmer) part of the state.
No joke about their GPS. In the past, the hummingbirds have come to where the feeders have been, except I haven't put them out yet. They'll face the window and hover awhile. I believe they are seeing their reflection. The tail feathers will flare trying to look like the biggest tiny bird. bogieb - thanks for the migration map! I'll have to poke around that site.
Exactly what he was doing, until he saw me LOL. Actually, scared the chit me just when I was about to dose off.
The swallows have returned. I observed a pair of them building a nest on a light fixture in back of the house last week. Checked it out and seems they gave up and started a new one over the front door. Mud and moss litter the front matt. They've built nests there in past,
Got home yesterday and the hummingbird feeder has gone up. Woodpeckers have been on it already, but I think this one is woodpecker and bee proof.
Im making my second coffee and looked up to see a hummingbird at the feeder. Amazes me how fast they find it. Went to get the camera and it was gone when I came back.
Those are such stunning birds. I've only seen them a couple of times and I probalby squealed like a fan-girl, LOL.
