The Hummers Have Arrived

The hummers are here and they brought lots of friends.

In the past two days, the number of birds using our feeders has jumped from six to about twenty. The feeders were empty this morning when I went out onto the patio before sunrise, and I could hear the birds already looking for something to eat. I filled the feeders then and by noon they were already empty. At 5PM, I filled them again, and by the time the sun went down tonight, they were nearly empty. Time to put up a few more feeders.

The neighbors also have two feeders up, so the little birds are feeding heavily.
