Hummingbird 2024

[RoseRed]

If there are flowers nearby, check there. That's where mine are.

Not really.

 

[Kinnakeet]

have not seen ants yet,but only 1 humming bird every once and a while

 

[RoseRed]

That have been around. About a half inch down. Saw a male this evening with a big red head and a white ring around his neck.

Now I wait for fireflies.

 

[my-thyme]

My yard has been covered with lightnin bugs. So pretty!

 

[RoseRed]

Finally saw some tonight!

 

[PrchJrkr]

Saw a firefly on the screen door at my fiancé's place last week before we had to close up and turn on the A/C. She says mid-May is the norm there, but no hummers yet.

For your consideration ...

Had a girlfriend once that was a hummer. Does that count?

My birds are back and have been hitting the feeder hard. YaY!

 

[my-thyme]

They are often very active in the cool and rainy. They need the food to keep warm.

 

[RoseRed]

I filled it Tuesday evening and its down an inch.

If I'm on the porch, I have to play a statue.

Not me, if my presence bothers them tough luck. Probably why they dive bomb me on occasion.

For your consideration ...

Never knew they had such a high pitched snore. Never knew they snored. Wonder what their normal chirp is?

They yell at me in cursive if I'm on the porch when they want to feed.

Pretty sure you are misgendering them.

Mine disappeared for a few days when it ran dry because I was at my mom's for a few days and I forgot to ask my neighbor to fill it. They have sunk that again very low so I refilled it this evening since I'll be gone for another few days.
