Our First Hummingbirds…

…showed up last night.

A couple years ago, Wonderful Guy, who is only slightly less enchanted with hummingbirds than with me, thought we needed a hummingbird feeder to add to the collection of bird feeders we already have around the yard. We found a nice one, researching the best way to do the food and migratory habits, etc.

I also have planted several perennials that are known to attract hummingbirds over the years. We usually have a few pairs each year, and they are so much fun to watch. The last couple of years, we have even seen them rest on the tomato cages. Still, and unmoving, for several minutes at a time. Very remarkable.

Unfortunately, and much to Wonderful Guy’s chagrin, the hummers like my plants more than the feeder! Apparently, our hummer pairs are of the organic persuasion.

I think Wonderful Guy feels a bit insulted by it all.
