Hummingbirds

Here in PEI it's almost time and I can almost set my calendar with their arrival. May 15th is the date although last year they arrived two days early. Today I put out my ten feeders so I am ready to welcome the little guys.

I have mine up since about a couple of weeks ago. Guess I am too eager and an optimist! So far I have no sighting to report yet...but I am waiting.. patiently ..for my friends, and they have never failed me! :)

They don't even leave Victoria. The feeders are left up year round here.

I laughed when I read that Meaghan because you sounded like my sister who lives not too far from you on Vancouver Island. She delights in sending pictures of flowers blooming when we are still covered with snow on the East coast. :)

 

So good for you to have the little guys year round and you also have several different species. We only get the ruby throated hummingbird here.

 

Enjoy your little birds and of course the amazing climate of Victoria.

So cute.... they seem to like water a lot, and they love playing in the rain.

 

This couple in this video are so lucky. I might see may be two or three the most at one time. But take a look at this --

So...they are finally here after a long wait! Saw one of my little buddies today, and of course they could have been here earlier. :icon_smile:

 

And as usual, they have made my day!
