Hummingbird

My neighbors inspired me to get a hummingbird feeder.  They have one and the other day they had 10-12 hummingbirds trying to feed at once!  Off I went to Lowe's to buy one.

We hung it right outside our living room window so we could see all the action.  Since then, we have had pretty continuous action. 

Caleb was able to get a few good shots.



We have one particular hummingbird who has become very possessive of our feeder.  He will stand guard on top and chase after any other bird that comes close.  We are expecting him to look a little fatter in the next few weeks.  This feeder has provided much entertainment and is a good learning experience for Emerson :)  It was a good $5 spend!

  1. How fun! We were hoping to get a bird feeder soon (a regular one for seed), but this is an even more exciting idea because those little hummingbirds are pretty exciting to watch! Do you know if they stay around all year? Or do they migrate in the cooler months?

    1. I'm not sure. But you are so far south, that they may not need to migrate much further south that you are!! I recommend getting one :)
