Yesterday, I looked at the hummingbird feeder, and it only had about a quarter inch of syrup left in it. All of a sudden, I thought of "Phoebe", and what if she came to an empty feeder, with that precious little baby waiting for it's mama, to bring her food. I grabbed that feeder, brought it inside, washed it out, made fresh syrup, filled the feeder, took it back out and hung it in the hanger,(all before dusk), and said, "Whew! I can sleep with a clear conscience, tonight." (smile)
You probably get hummers before we do in Tennessee. We never see signs until late in April. It slips up quickly too! I will put mine out the first week in April.
Computer speed has improved. Hallelujah!
