Thankful Thursday and Little Things Thursday

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, April 18, 2018
Today I am thankful that the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, Archilochus colubris, have returned to my feeders. The yellow cups filled with plain water above the feeders prevents ants from getting to the sugar-water in the feeders. (I found them at Tractor Supply Company).

To attract Hummingbirds, hang sugar-water feeders and plant a profusion of nectar-producing flowers. You may have only a couple of birds at first, but don't give up - more will come!

And I am really envious of you folks who have Hummingbirds all the time!

Have a wonderful day!

  3. I had lots of hummingbirds visiting my feeder in Illinois. I have one her in Oklahoma, but so far no takers. Hopefully one or two will find it.

  4. Great captures! My hummingbirds are like UFOs that hover a second and are gone. Yours are a delight.
