Put Out the Welcome Feeder

Today Dan took a load of scrap metal to the recycler. On his way back, among other stops, he stopped by Hardees and brought home lunch. Hmmm...so good. We ate on the deck, our favorite 'eatery.' I looked up once and happened to see my very first hummingbird of the season checking out the red bloom of the geranium I'd put outside yesterday.

After lunch he went to the attic to grab all the feeders. I should have taken a picture before I started putting them outside.

I guess it was a good thing he went up there. With all the rain we've had lately, he said he needed to go back and double check on whether we have a leak up there. So he's up there now.

In the meantime I've been making hummer formula 1 suger/4 water. But I started noticing something.

Through the open windows I kept hearing something...a shrill repeatitive song of several birds who have apparently stopped by somewhere in the woods out back.

I used to add recordings a lot when I made my own web sites. Speaking of which, I've been thinking about doing that again. We'll see how that goes though. Maybe, maybe not.
