For the Birds

Honey had been saying for the last few days that we ought to put out the Hummingbird feeders. 

On the surface, that seems like wasted effort.  We are on the migration path, and typically get lots of Hummers in the spring and fall but almost none in the middle of summer or wiinter. Our next-door neighbors do keep feeders out all year, and have a few birds who remain year-round, but Hummers in mid-August are a rare sight here.

Anyway, we put the feeders out about lunch time yesterday, and the first Hummingbird showed up in less than ten minutes.
