Humming Birds

The second group of migrating humming birds arrive today. We have three feeders out but they seem to concentrate on the two nearest the house. There are about a dozen out there fighting over the two feeders.

The first group arrived, stayed a few days and departed about a week ago. We only had two feeders up at the time. We increase the amount of sugar we put in the mix since they are migrating and can use the extra energy.

We have four humming birds that come and spent the entire summer with us. They disappear for a short time when the honey suckle is in bloom. We see them when they return to their nesting area in the evening.

A real joy of nature.
