Hummingbird Update

Hummingbird Update

June 16, 2022 Elizabeth

We added a new hummingbird feeder this year. We now have 3 places for nectar. One hummingbird feeder in the backyard on a pole that also has the oriole feeder and a finch feeder. In the front yard we have a pole only a couple of feet from my office window with just a butterfly nectar feeder and a hummingbird feeder. We also have been increasing the flowers and native plants that help support both butterflies and hummingbirds in our yard. I’m not positive how many little hummers we have around, but I’d guess that we have 2 pairs rather than one this year. We rarely see them all together. But, I have seen 3 at once before. Here’s a couple of pics from the window!
