I Love to Watch and Feed the Birds

Today I saw hummingbirds and orioles the first time this year. They went to some of the old feeders throughout the yard and some of the new on the windows. I'm happy to see that a new style of window feeder isn't going to stop them from being so close where I have an excellent view! They're some of my favorite birds because their return means that winter, my least favorite season, is over. Bring on Summer!

@Peaches 😊 I love seeing them...so quick, darting all around, and then suddenly hovering...in almost slow motion...a pause, gathering...then whoosh...

@SomeMichGuy My uncle has the most amazing photos of them in flight. When I was a little girl I'd climb this Mimosa tree back home (the hummingbirds love them) and if you'd sit perfectly still they'd surround you eating the nectar from the flowers. All you could hear were the sound of their tiny wings fluttering, it was amazing!!! It was like a soft humming sound.😌🕊

@Peaches making your own is the best, that way you know it is pure.
