Hummingbird Alert!

New Englanders, GET OUT YOUR FEEDERS! 

This was not the Wednesday post I had planned.  That changed this morning, when I saw these migration maps..

I ran to fill my feeder.  I'd been wondering. Everything is so early, more than a month, the way I see it.  When I checked two weeks ago, everything looked about normal.  Then this happened..

They are sure signs that the hummers are on their way.  Soon.  We did get a hard freeze two nights ago.  Lots of the flowering trees were damaged.  It is anyone's guess when the huimmers will show.  But, just in case… GET YOUR FEEDERS OUT!

  1. I will make some sugar water when I get home from work today! Thanks for the heads up.

  2. Harry put ours up a couple of weeks ago and I thought it was WAY too early. Apparently I was very wrong! He will be happy to hear the news.
