Hummingbird 2025 migration

[NOTSMC]

We all sound like a bunch of old fogies.

It's lovely that we can talk about something that can't be turned into politics.

Watch someone's going to come along and muck it up

Well, we are according to some. I'm of the firm belief that you are only as old as you feel in your mind. Mostly its young at heart until I have to climb, lift, crawl under a vehicle and my body screams that I am too old to do that.

Back to hummingbirds - haven't seen them, but nectar level is dropping. Given the way the temperature has been bouncing around its any wonder they are around at all.

For your consideration ...

Ever notice that most hummingbird feeders are red or have red somewhere on them? Yup. They are MAGA hummingbirds.

@my-thyme and I just had that conversation. We talked about putting up a poll, 'how old do you feel'.

I'm 25 in my head. 75-80 in body.

Just got eyes on one, replaced the nectar, stirred up some wasps, now I guess I'll break out the "Bug Assault" once the wind settles a bit.

No hummingbirds at my place, but I did hear a carpenter bee buzzing around somewhere close by.

One was accompanying me while I was setting up for my yard/indoor sale tomorrow. I guess the wood I had on the sawhorses that will hold the tools looked appealing to him!

Nah, I try to not kill anything.
Well, except mosquitos and ticks!

When it gets hotter there will be a whole bunch at the feeders

You come up with that all by yourself or did you Google it?

 

[RoseRed]

Believe it or not I actually used my thought process after thinking about it for a little while..May you live long and prosperous

 

[my-thyme]

My feeder is leaking, no birds, nectar almost gone. Upon inspection, I see a drop below a flower and a puddle on the ground.

Something broke or just not seated/sealed properly?

Vandal hummers must be gang members! Don't fret they will self deport in November or so.

 

[my-thyme]

I think it's just worn out, years old. Gonna get a new one.

 

[my-thyme]

It's not JUST leaking.

I saw a hummingbird at the feeder just now!
