Joe and I put out two hummingbird feeders very early in the summer, and we have been disappointed at how little flight traffic the feeders have been getting. But, in the past couple of days we've had some fleeting fly-bys. They peruse the feeder, then quickly move on before eating. So, I refilled the feeders with fresh nectar to tempt the little guys, and we've been having very frequent guests ever since! Jacks loves to see the birds come an go in an instant, and we are thrilled to have lots of hummingbird visitors.
My grandmother especially loved her hummingbird feeders. Later in her life, as her mind started to fail her, she started writing down each time of day when she saw a hummingbird at the feeder so that she could remember to tell her friends. Each time I see one at the feeder, I think of how excited Grandmama would be to see it.
Joe has started keeping his camera poised and ready late in the afternoon, when we see the most traffic, to try to catch some shots of our feathered friends. We've gotten a few good pics in, and we hope we'll get more soon.
