• Saw my first hummer of the season this morning

    Been a little chilly lately for the start of spring but they've
    apparently migrated to the area now. Hopefully the nights still won't
    get too cold for them.

    Where do you live? Saw my first Turkey Vulture in Jonesboro, ME yesterday.
    Not expecting hummers until 05/08.

    Fun! I forget where you're located (if I ever knew).

    I'm in Southern South Carolina but it still gets down into the 30's
    during the Winter. I had a female ruby throat who didn't migrate with
    the rest of them so I kept the feeder up. The weekend of Christmas 2022
    we had a very rare cold snap where the low overnight temps were in the
    20's and high temps were barely above freezing. I worried about her but
    she was just fine! Good luck with yours. :)

    Apr. 3 is the date we're supposed to begin seeing them here in TN, so
    they're just about right on time.

    I saw several wild turkeys walking around in the woods behind my house,
    I think it was last Thursday.

    Actually I heard them before I saw them, they need no introduction, lol.

    I'm in Tennessee, so they're probably around in SC too.

    I saw another one fly up when one was feeding so I may have to put a
    second feeder up already so they don't fight. :)

    Oh sure, I've seen a few of the hummingbirds that migrated starting to
    to show up. I still can't get over the female that decided not to
    migrate last year. That little gal had the feeder all to herself the
    entire time. Perhaps there was a method to her madness. ;) I made sure
    the feeder was always cleaned and filled for her.

    It's funny how territorial they are. There's plenty of food but they
    really don't like to share.

    We have Wild Turkeys running all over the place here in Maine.

    A friend told me that he saw his first Osprey here today.
