This weeks Theme is Drink
Anyone that’s been reading this site for a while knows that I enjoy having birds in our backyard garden.
We have three feeders in our tiny yard. We have to fill them up almost daily since there are so many birds eating from the feeders. I think we must be the only people around for blocks that feed the birds the way they go through the seed we put out for them.
In the five years that we’ve been at the house I’ve only seen a humming bird twice. We have two hummingbird feeders, that I clean and fill regularly in the hopes of enticing the tiny creatures to have a drink.
Here’s a photo of our nicest hummingbird feeder:
And here’s another view of the same feeder:
Have a great weekend and Happy St. Patrick’s day. Don’t drink too much now.
Oh, I *love* that feeder- is it glass?
We have just a basic plastic plain jane one… our birds deserve better LOL
It is a very nice feeder…is that wine for the humming bird?
Great shots and a different take from what I’ve seen so far! We love birds, too, and have a feeder for them outside. We get doves, house finches and sparrows; occasionally, a hummingbird will drink from our hibiscus flowers. Beautiful photos, here!
~~~Blessings~~~
definitely that nicest feeder I have ever seen! We just had a bird feeder last Christmas, our bday gift for our daughter & we love to see the birds! Great choice! Happy Hunting!
What a nice photos and great blog! Have a great day
These are lovely. In Mississippi, the hummingbirds are thick all summer, arriving in May and leaving in October. I have seen six of them fighting over a single feeder. Until we lived there I didn’t know that they will actually land and sit on the branches of a tree. It is amazing to hear the humming of their wings in the evening, even before you see the little red heads or red neck bands. I have no idea as to how far north their migration usually takes them.
If I were a hummingbird I’d want some! I don’ have a feeder, but one time from my kitchen window I saw a hummingbird come into the patio and flit around for a bot and then leave. It was such a pretty site — I wished I had had something for him.
I had a hummingbird feeder once but all of the nectar would run out of the bottom no matter what I tried! This one looks like it would attract quite the crowd and I bet you’ll get some great pictures when they do start coming around!
Happy St Patrick’s Day!
Your hummingbird feeders are great. I love to be able to look out the windows and see the birds feeding at the birdfeeders and the hummingbirds at theirs. The hummingbirds are my favorites.
Wishing you happy days ahead
Beautiful feeder! Since I live in Sweden I have to make do with bluetits. They’re big compared to a hummingbird (about the size of an poultry egg) and the biggest bird in the world if you ask themselves. My favourite among the small birds are the great tit, since it’s easy to teach it to feed from the palm of one’s hand. Of course; you may end up feeding an entire family in a few weeks….
You reminded me of my mom this afternoon. She loves the hummingbirds and has a couple of these feeders in her backyard. A very unique take on the theme!
Very cool pic! Thanks for taking care of the birds!
Mine’s up 🙂
I love your photos and your hummingbird feeder. I have only seen one hummingbird up close.
