A few days ago I told you that I was adding an addition to the ever expanding Avian (and squirrel) Cafe. Today I would like to show you what I installed.
Yep it's a hummingbird feeder. In the past I have bought feeders and put them out but have never been able to attract any hummingbirds. So I never really thought a lot about getting one. However after talking to our neighbor about a week ago I had some hope. She told me that she saw a hummingbird near some of her potted flowers. And one of Kim's clients regularly attracts hummingbirds. So I figured I'd give it a shot. And it worked! Check out the video below. And needless to say it is best viewed at full screen and in HD.
I shot 30 minutes of video to get this 1 minute or so but it was so worth it and very rewarding. The feeder has only been out for three days and I have seen hummingbirds using it at least three times.
So what's next? I don't know for sure but I have some things rattling around in my head. But whatever it is I'll be sure to share it with you.
Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time...
Well, that's exciting! It's been many years since I saw a hummingbird. We used to have them in the yard when I lived in Wissinoming. You are doing a good job feeding the wildlife.
ReplyDeleteA lot of people are telling me that they are seeing hummingbirds after many years of not seeing any. Maybe they are making a comeback. Thanks Kathy!
DeleteI like the new addition. I never saw hummingbirds except in the zoo or museum. Kinda nice. Something for everybody!
ReplyDeleteThanks Debbie! I have never seen them in the wild either. Well maybe at Longwood Gardens but that is about it. I am so pleased that I was able to get them in our yard.
