Thankful Thursday and
Little Things Thursday

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!

Hello, wonderful captures of the hummingbirds. I am looking forward to their return. Happy Thursday, enjoy your day!
ReplyDelete...I plan to give this a try this year, that is if it stops snowing!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteGreat captures! My hummingbirds are like UFOs that hover a second and are gone. Yours are a delight.
ReplyDeleteOurs are back, too, and I'm thankful, too. That yellow cup looks like a great idea.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots..I don't have any luck with Hummers//too many feeders where I live..
ReplyDeleteWe see them a lot. The really do HUM!
ReplyDeleteYou have so many hummingbirds! That is amazing! I like the little cups to stop the ants.
ReplyDeleteI just can not wait to see hummingbirds again! Such a cute photo.
ReplyDeleteUsed to love seeing them when we lived on the Lake in Oregon....thanks for the memories. There was one kind that stayed all year , but I forget which one it was now.
ReplyDeleteI had my first hummer last weekend. It has been so cold that I was surprised to see him. But, I was ready! Thanks for linking up today and have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLucky you! I do have my feeder up but no visitors yet. It's still cold here.
