Good news is so hard to come by these days. I haven't put my hummingbird feeders out yet (I have macrame hangers on the hooks I usually hang the feeders from) But we do see hummers visiting the Pineapple Sage and Autumn sage in the island beds. I think it's about time I put a feeder up as well though.<br />Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09993407315693699146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-71652739561593522132018-05-05T15:22:01.528-05:002018-05-05T15:22:01.528-05:00It's a mystery regarding the hummingbirds, swi...It's a mystery regarding the hummingbirds, swifts, and nighthawks. In general, migratory birds are arriving earlier each year, but the hummingbirds were late and "our" swifts have yet to arrive. I'm not too concerned about the nighthawks; I know they are in the area even if I haven't seen them over my yard, but the swifts have <i>always</i> arrived before now in all the thirty years we've been here. I am concerned.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-32537946882105860212018-05-05T12:53:26.744-05:002018-05-05T12:53:26.744-05:00Thank you for the update.
