This past weekend we traveled to Missouri to visit with Uncle Les and his wife Rhonda. If you've been following along, you know how much we love birds....especially hummingbirds. I was so entralled I had to write again about the hummingbirds. Everyone always seems excited when they see a hummingbird. They are so small, and their ability to hover is a wonderment. We sat for hours watching their feeders!! Never have I seen so many hummingbirds at once!!! There must have been ten or twelve and on the last evening closer to twenty. Their feeders were hung from the patio roof so we were very close, in fact, we were able to stand within inches of the feeders watching these little guys come in for their treat.
They had 4 feeders. One hummingbird was named Moe and he would guard "his" feeder carefully, not letting the others come close much less drink from it. Besides the hum produced from their flying there was also some chattering which I had never before heard. Moe actually scolded the others as they attempted to fly near his feeder. I learned so much more about their traits as I studied them. If you don't have a feeder you really should get one, there are so many on the market, you will surely find one that fits into your decor. Won't you like to give it a try?
