slo’s MONDAY 8/22 poll - Hummingbirds

[tasha99]

We see them every day because they love some of our flowers. In the fall, DH puts out a feeder. It's his project, and he makes new food for it every couple of weeks, so they come in the winter, too.

I've only ever seen a hummingbird on TV.

I see them occasionally at my flowers... but I haven't seen any this year. We do not put out a feeder, but our (old) neighbors did. We have new neighbors now, without a feeder. I may have been benefitting from my neighbors' feeder.

I do not believe I have ever seen any maybe at a botanical garden.

We used to have a feeder. It wasn't much work but it drew more ants than hummingbirds.
And we used to have feeders with seed for the other birds, but those went away the day we saw a rat hanging upside down from the feeder IN A TREE chowing down.

Saw one yesterday but don't every day.

I see them every now and then. I love it when I do. I like birds in general, I am always watching for what kind of birds I can see.

When I lived in California we had many hummingbirds everyday. Live in Southeast & I haven’t seen one yet.

We see them everyday. I love watching them. I have a feeder on the back deck and they fuss and fight over it. When I walk out to the garden, I usually have one out there flying around me. If the feeder is empty, I'll even have them hover at the back sliding glass door to let me know. They're such fun little creatures.

I only see them occasionally but I still have a feeder out just in case

Hummingbirds are in our backyard every day, feeding on a lot of different plants. We are in Southern California, so I guess they are common here. For years I've been trying to see where they nest, because I heard they have tiny cute nests, but no luck. I have no idea where they go home at night,

I planted trees, shrubs, and other plants in my front and backyard to attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. I see them everyday.

Got another snapshot this morning. I wish the light were better when I tend to catch them (while out with the cat early in the morning) but it's still fun to try and get pics!
