I FINALLY put out the hummingbird feeders tonight. This is one of the greatest joys of Spring and Summer - the little jeweled birds who flit around squealing as they go. I think the sound is from their wings zipping thru the air on their way to and from feed zones. I want my house to be a feed zone for them.
This Spring was so late getting here this year I thought we had missed them altogether, but as Trav and I sit on the deck in the mornings we hear the whirring sound of the sweeping birds and he keeps prompting me to get the feeders out.
Then I felt guilty when the cuties came by the feeding zones 3 different times to check it out. DUH - what am I thinking? It probably took 10 minutes to put everything together and now I am hoping the little guys come around. I also hope I dumped enough sugar in there for them.

My favorite: A hummingbird's metabolism is roughly 100 times that of an elephant.
