I finally saw my first humming bird for the season. Brave little guy... I have about 5 feeders up. Got to keep those little birds fed as it is still chilly here. I make my own food as it is just as good or better than the store bought, no red colouring in my feed...

Humming bird food.

1 Cup Sugar

4 Cups Water

Bring this to a boil and let it cool,

Pour into bird feeders and watch the little guys eat.

I had many birds last year, hope to have even more this year.
This picture was taken last year. I found this little one in the house we were building. He could not get out so I picked him up and took him to a feeder to try to revive him. What an amazing feeling it was to hold something so tiny and watch it feed. He did survive, must have told his friends as we had a lot of birds last year.

  1. I'm so happy to see that you had a blog about birds! I have a blog of birds and flowers but I keep off of my list of blogs. I actually have five blogs going but I keep them private. I will give you the link to my flower and bird blog when I'm done. It's still under construction....I'm such a procrastinator...LOL!

    I'll be dropping by again!

    Deanna :D
