More Hummingbirds!

I am in a bit of a rut with the hummingbirds, but there are just so many of them all day long!

You will just have to allow me to indulge one more time! We have a total of 4 feeders at the present time, and all of them are seeing action equivalent to this one. It makes for a lot of activity on the porch!


We have begun to attract some Baltimore Orioles as well. They first showed themselves publicly the day that my mother died. It seemed like more than a coincidence to me since she had been a bird lover for many decades. I was in Iowa at the time, but Terry reported that they had started landing on and drinking from the hummingbird feeders. At first it was one pair, but we are pretty sure there are 2 pairs now. We have added an Oriole feeder filled with the proper ratio of water to sugar for them, but they are not completely convinced to give up the hummingbird food. It may seem like going from 2% milk down to skim. No pictures yet - they are still rather shy.
