We got our first hummingbirds of the season yesterday. They are awesome to watch. Last week our nights were below freezing. This week they are just above freezing.
I had found the eggs earlier in the spring and left them alone, because those little guys eat lots and lots of bugs. I hope the rest of them make it.

I love to see all kinds of birds.
We’ve had hummingbirds for a couple months. What is hilarious is there is a woodpecker who feeds at the hummingbird feeder. He hangs upside down on the little rail and steadies himself with his tail underneath the jar. Then he cranes his neck around to drink. He’s all pleased with himself and you can tell he’s smiling. We have about 20 different birds at the seed feeders. One dove is the size of a pullet. The hawk hasn’t come back after I kept chasing him off but there’s a cat that sneaks around but he’s getting the idea I don’t want him around my birds. The egrets are back and are pretty flying. There’s also herons, ducks, geese and gulls that fly by. I hope the pelicans come back this summer.
