Hummingbirds return home today......did you hang your feeder?

[Loree]

We always hang our feeder for the hummingbirds on Mothers Day because that is when they return to us............
I forgot to hang mine yesterday and there she was this morning...........at the window with no sugar water
I quickly cleaned the feeder out and made fresh sugar water and hung it up
Did you remember to hang yours or at least freshen it up for them?
They are so beautiful

I was watching them the last two weeks in Maryland.

Mine showed up about a week and a half ago

Check out www.hummingbirds.net they have a migration map that's always interesting to watch.

I've seen a couple of feeders around Playa but have never seen a hummer there though.

No need to hang it, I have a pomegranate tree and some other flowers they like, and they come at all times. In Winter it was nice to sit by the window in my bedroom and watch the coming to feed.

The ones in the area do not humm but "click"

I didn't realize they'd be around just yet. I'm off to check out that site regarding migration..........thanks Frank
We have quite a few feeders but my favorite is right in front of our kitchen sink. It is so amazing to watch these little guys. Quite a job to keep up with the cleaning of the feeders though. They get nasty pretty quickly! Gotta take care of those hummers though! Here's one of my favorite pics:

are they called hummingbirds because they don't know the words?

I have always been fascinated by Hummingbirds even though i don't see many where i live. I guess next to Timothy Leary, they are considered to be one of the most perfect flying machines.

We actually even get them way up here! But they don't seem to be around here yet, the date of our average last frost is May 24 so I think another couple weeks before they get here!
BUT the canary finches are here! I have had my thistle seed feeder out for 2 weeks and noticed they were back last night.

I noticed 'clicking' little green and red ones in Puerto Vallarta area last summer! The clicking is actually louder than you'd think. The hummingbird species here isn't as brightly coloured.

We have hummingbirds all year long. Mostly Anna's Hummingbirds. The males have a greenish emerald back and a ruby red throat and a great arial (swooping) display.

I like to watch them take showers in the sprinklers. Once while hand watering the lawn in our backyard, a hummingbird flew onto my shoulder and stayed there for a couple of minutes.

How cool is that!
