Obsessed with hummingbirds.

The ruby-throated hummingbird is a wonder of migration. Every winter it makes an amazing journey. Some have been known to make a journey of 2500 miles or more, from Alaska to Central America. Because  of it, the hummingbird is a symbol for accomplishing that which seems impossible. It will teach you how to find the miracle of joyful living from your own life circumstances.

We are finally getting our share of hummingbirds at our feeder.
They are not pink but I cannot help but share.

I hung these petunias near the feeder to help attract them.
They were slow getting to our area as everyone has mentioned it.

The very first hummer we saw this year.

I got this shot one day while sitting on my deck.
I printed it out and plan on painting it and putting it on canvas.

Say it Saturday

Today is July 6th.
It has rained every day since the 1st.
Up to the last 6 days the hummingbird activity at our feeder has been minimal.


However since the last few days of rain the activity has increased.

As many as three have been seen at one time and I am wondering if the rainy weather has anything to do with the increase in activity.

Yes it is still raining this Saturday so these shots were through our kitchen window.

What say you, does the rain have anything to do with the increased activity around our hummingbird feeder?
