My Hummer Buddies

I feel like a kid waiting on Santa Claus in the springtime. When the first hummingbirds show up it's like getting up on Christmas morning. I'm always excited!

It's always a joy of nature to see the hummingbirds back home. Since the last week of August I've been putting out 9 gallons a week.
They have sure been on a feeding frenzy!

When I put out the nectar, I stand there and watch them as they fly all around me and even land on my shoulders and at times my head.

This morning I counted 42 hummingbirds. At one feeder there was 12! They were paired up at the feeder holes taking turns feeding.

What a blessing it is to share life with our hummer buddies!

Life is Beautiful With Hummingbirds
by: ANGEL ROMERO CUSIH MEXICO

I'm glad to hear from other bird enthusiast. Lately I have been providing over 2 1/2 gals. daily to over 300 hummingbirds.

I invited some of my neighbors to help feed the birds and they love it too!!!
