The hummingbirds are enjoying the feeders —we have a variety of the little flitting and humming birds.
The Refus are back. They are two weeks early. It was a surprise to see them and this little Ruby Throated One sitting on the feeder.
They start feeding as soon as the sky turns pearly gray in the morning
And stay busy on the feeders and in my gardens until the last light of night
Then when the moon’s shadows start to fill the open ground they vanish. Tucked away somewhere resting. Until day starts again.
From my world to your heart,
Linda

I envy you your flying jewels. Yesterday I watched a pair of sunbirds investigating my clump of lemongrass, maybe planning some real estate activity. They’re our nearest thing to hummingbirds, but about half as large again.

Every year, I just can’t get over the number of hummers that you get! It is amazing…and different kinds too. What fun. I love those birds. Lucky you! Thanks for putting all the nectar out for them! I know it is a labor of love!!!

I’m having to put out nectar every other day now…but come August (late) we will see a huge reduction in the sweet little things.

Those critters love the Santa Clara Valley and surrounding hills so much that one of the four highest peaks is named after them; Umunhum.
