THEY'RE BACK!!!!
They're back!!!. My hummingbirds started coming back to the feeder last week. There's one that I call "noisy" because he makes a clicking sound. He's the male of the species and then the female comes in to feed and she's not as colorful. I had the feeder out for over a week. While I was doing dishes one morning there he was. He gets skiddish and runs away if I'm too close. It's not like that lady that was in the flight path and hovered all over her. Wow that must have been a treat. Anyway, I'm glad they're here and will continue to make the succulent syrup they go after. They don't run if my dogs are out though. I'll try to put some vaseline on the line that holds the feeder. Someone said that should keep the ants away. One thing I noticed about hummingbirds, and that is, they keep me busy watching. I never get tired of it. I'll try to buy more succulent flowers this year too.
