Hummers Are Back

Last August while our house was being painted I took down my two hummingbird feeders. Just recently, I cleaned one of them in preparation for putting it back out, but was in no hurry, since it had already been a long time waiting.

Today, while working in the kitchen, I caught a glimpse of a hummingbird through a steam covered window. It was checking out one of my seed feeders, which is painted bright red. I instantly started brewing some nectar to put out in one of my feeders. After allowing it to cool down a bit, I put the nectar in the feeder and hung it up. Within one minute, there were two hummers using the feeder!
