I happened to sit down near the feeders the other day with my camera around my neck, and there they were. I was able to snap away for a good solid hour while they hovered about. Magical!

I'm not sure if the hummingbirds used it or not, since it was far from the windows - I saw them a lot on my monarda and lobelia, though. That's so cool that they remember and stop and the same places every year! You could have whole generations of hummingbird families at your garden throughout the years!Indiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004102653896371835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570308709067611215.post-66130054531987161282015-05-09T05:06:11.706-06:002015-05-09T05:06:11.706-06:00They are just darling!

They came back with the Baltimore Orioles. Once the trees leaf out, both birds return to their feeders....no wonder they find the feeders year after year....how wonderful to know they return year after year!
