Thorn Got It!!! - July 23rd, 2006 at 03:22 PM
I left to take my grandson on a walk this evening to visit the neighbors' cats and take pictures and when I returned my wife was all excited. She said that as soon as we left the yard a Hummingbird appeared and started in vestigating our red Cannas. She ran inside and mixed up a fresh batch of nectar and filled my brand new feeder and got it out. As she and my grandson were playing near the feeder after he and i returned the Hummer came back and started feeding from the feeder. Once they appear once at your feeder they will continue to come until they migrate for the year. I haven't seen it yet to determine its sex or age, but as soon as I do I will get pictures.
On another note, AMAZINGLY, TODAY, I got the First American Goldfinch of the year in breeding plummage. It was a female who stopped in for a quick drink of water. I usually expect the Goldfinches in breeding plummage and hummers to show up within a few days of each other but what a surprise to have them BOTH show up on the same day.
