That is great Vera, My hummers are using the feeders exclusively at least in my yard. They may be able to find more blooming plants elsewhere right now. My irises opened up this a.m. and I have a flowering maple with sever open blooms but they look no further than the feeders...less work for them right now as it is still cool and rainy here in the northeast.

Just saw another one!!! This one was at the feeder. ooohhh, THEY'RE BACK!!! Deb in PA

Great pictures! So, this is the pineapple sage everyones been talking about. I never bothered to Google it, d'oh! Guess I'll have to be adding that to the garden next year; it's lovely. I still have plenty blooming, but boy, was it chilly last night. I went out on the deck this am and the thermometer said 47! 5 minutes later my little girl was at the feeder, then on the salvia. As much as I don't want to see her go, I'm hoping she'll move on soon...

I live in Northern NH so talking about black bears.Which for the most part don't bother people that much.However did have one quite a few years ago that was a dumpster bear and was teaching the cubs the same thing.She was kinda like the town bear and never hurt anyone but I do remember her less then 5 ft from my door while the cubs were cavorting in my dumpster and of course the potential was there..I just emptied the dumpster and moved it away from the house and chained it.She never got into the bird feeders though.But Since then I have taken them down every Spring since that is what F@G says to do.Anyhow I just bought my hummer a fushia so he can use that till the honeysuckle blossoms.He only has Apple blossoms and maybe azalea in a day or two.Like the idea of hanging the feeders higher-used to do that with food when hiking!!
