HUMMINGBIRD SOS
'
"REAL LEARNING" I am enamored by hummingbirds. They are one of God's most amazing creatures. Mankind in all of our technological advances can not fly like a hummingbird. I'm a hummingbird nerd. I spent an hour one day just reviewing hummingbird feeders in order to find the best one. I then spent another hour trying to place it in the best location for viewing in relation to my favorite chair. I even have binoculares within arms reach so I can watch them more closely. "Anna" hummingbirds (if they have a stable food source) will often weather over in the more mild temperature of Cowlitz County. With our recent snow and freezing I worried that my hummingbirds would starve. Hummingbirds must eat every 10 min and will consume 1/2 its body weight each day. So I was constantly bringing in my feeder, thawing it out and replacing it. Each time I would bring it back I would be dive bombed. Not sure if it was a hummingbird thank you or threat. Hang in there lovely little hummingbirds the thaw and rain is on its way.
