Hummingbirds Yet

[wildcatfan.62]

We've had a few at our feeder in Granger. First noticed them over the weekend. They've been coming back. Not sure of the type. Crazy to watch them "hover".

Pretty slow here in the Fort. Had one at the cabin Saturday so they are north a good bit.

Golf retreat at Salt Creek in Nashville these past few days. Numerous ones at feeders.

Numerous hummers at both feeders and flowers here in the Fort since the first one appeared 5/1. Even had a few of the usual hummer fights! Only problem is the sugar water gets cloudy quickly due to the high temps we’ve had lately.

Ours is city water and the normal 1:4 sugar to water ratio.

Trying to get close up pics of i think 4 different hummers. Got the daughter about 6 feet away from the feeder now to get colors. Few pics..

Still no activity in SO IN.
Had to wash 15-20 honey bees off the Dad-gummed thing before I took it Down!
Maybe Next year

Got a couple in the backyard in north Porter County. My wife plants all their favorite food flowers.

I’ve got so many at my feeder in Bedford, that I am having to fill it every day. I need to put up a second feeder

 

[ghitch75]

we are up to 6 32oz feeders of the 8 we put out have around 30 birds so far this year.....they are about 2 weeks late

The ONLY “type” you will see in Indiana is the Ruby Throated Hummingbird

They are growing up. Hope this generation survives.


This was last year's two that were taken by a Blue Jay.

They are now on my hosta flowers and the feeder many times a day.
I have only seen two at the same time. So maybe just a pair coming back and back.

when the Cannas bulbs flower with the giant red trumpets we will have many come to them.

Ditto on the cannas and hostas. They also LOVE red bee balm

Few and far between. I changed types of feeders as the bees had taken over the "Perky Pets" brand. We will see if they like the new feeders..

they are not hitting out feeders like in the past years, but they are on the flowers all over the yard

We usually get them around the flowers on our patio here in past years. We have only seen them a couple of times so far in 2024. I got my wife a feeder for Mother's Day but so far, only one witnessed visitor in the past month.

A week since my last post and they grew fast. Should be leaving the nest soon.

It’s been a really slow year here on the river in southern Indiana. We have three feeders out, but very few sightings, maybe once or twice a day now. Started out in the spring very active, but the birds seem to have moved along somewhere else.
