Now with the summer weather
having arrived here in Michigan, I am finally also seeing a bit more activity from some birds that I’ve been missing so far. There aren’t plenty but a couple of Hummingbirds seem to have found their way to my yard now. I noticed in videos that they often came to the feeder, checked and then took off without feeding, and I wondered about that. I thought about possible reasons and then removed the insect guards that I put over the ports from inside. And that seemed to have done the trick. The guards will go back on as the season progresses but for now, the hummers can get used to the feeder. There is a male too but here is the pretty female. (She has no gorget, the black/ red throat feathers.) Happy Friday!
