Our world has become full of humming, buzzing, chirping, clicking and flittering.
Rufus Hummingbird
Over a week ago, Bill and I were both buzzed by Rufus Hummingbirds. It is the ultimate sign of Spring here.
I got out the nectar feeders. Gave them a through washing and made up sugar water. I never use the red dye hummingbird nectar you can buy at the store. The dye is not needed. The colour of the flowers are what attracts the bird.
Throughly cleaned feeders and cooling sugar water.

I hung two of them in the Mountain Ash tree clump in my Ever Evolving Rock Garden and one in the Blue Spruce by the front door. Where they like to sit and patrol their territory and perform their mating ritual diving bombing flights.
