For me spring has returned with the Rufous hummingbirds. The male arrived on schedule March 6th and today I saw a female. We were fortunate to feed a pair of Anna's hummers all winter. Altogether we have more than a dozen hummers make their nests and have there babies here. After the babies head to the feeders it is a non-stop competition between males and females for perches on the feeders. It is amazing to me that these wonderful little creatures return to the place of their birth - flying hundreds of miles from the south to find my feeders full of sugar water.
With the planned high temperature of 60 degrees and blue skies all is well here at Eastfork Nursery. Enjoy the day!
